FIRST INTERNATIONAL MEETING OF The Pharmacy Alliance April 19 & 20, 2008 Holiday Inn On The Beach San Luis Resort Galveston Complex Galveston, Texas, US The Purpose of The Pharmacy Alliance is to foster conditions that will allow dignity, self-respect and integrity in the personal, professional and working lives of all pharmacy practitioners. TPA welcomes pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacy interns. Our emerging principles, which we call The Bowl, might include dealing with such issues as: " De-institutionalization " Working conditions " Wages " Vacations " Professional issues " Malpractice " Harassment " Robbery " Drug Diversion " Coupons " What a pharmacist will do and will not do Unlike traditional pharmacy associations, TPA will have a flat management model, not a pyramid. Members will have easy access to officers. We will keep it simple. We want action, not wordy resolutions! DUES: pharmacist $110.00; technician $35.00; student $30.00. Dues includes a copy of The Pharmacy Alliance Source Document. Send dues (make checks payable to: The Pharmacy Alliance) to: Myron Bryant, R.Ph., Treasurer The Pharmacy Alliance 1005 Cages Bend Court Gallatin, TN 37066 Our Web site is currently in development. Once it is operating, we will accept dues through PayPal. > It is time for the profession of pharmacy to obtain the dignity to match > its credentials.

I have posted a blog comment at pharmtopics.com with links to your yahoo pages. If I get an approval from Paul, I will post a link to his email address. I have to confess that I am no longer plagued by these working conditions. AS some who know me already are aware, I no longer practice real pharmacy and have not done so since the mid 1980's. My interest is pharmacy work design, a topic I was "forced" into by my graduate committee when the committee chair, who knew my love of data systems, resigned and the new chair was a human factors person. SInce being "forced" into this topic I have found a real interest in the idea of work design in retail pharmacy. It is about time some of the systems problems be addressed. -Nick > In article <479D35CF.3060...@grandecom.net>, > [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] > > -Nick May we talk about a sponsorship? www.pharmacytechnology.net (866) LTC - USA1 The Pharmacy Technology Resource, LLC |
