Topic: Waves of change – global trends that will disrupt your existence
Waves of change are rolling towards the pharmaceutical industry and you’d better be prepared.
- But how do you spot the waves, or identify what’s going on in the market?
- How do you sense the direction of the currents, or establish what they mean for your business?
- And how do you best position yourself so you’re not washed away, or choose a market position and ride the wave?
Will you surf to success or drown in a riptide on an unpatrolled beach, while swimming outside the flags?
Unfortunately for business leaders today, change doesn’t care whether you like it or not. In the pharmaceutical industry change happens ceaselessly without your permission.
The waves of change threatening every business are:
- Digital Disruption – managing the tension between the analogue and digital customer touch points
- Media Madness – realising that every company must think like a media company
- Data Driven Dominance – working out how to turn data into competitive knowledge
The ignorant and apathetic are swamped and go belly-up, but those that know how to recognise opportunity, innovate and welcome change will soar. Plus they’ll enjoy every moment of the journey.
Check Yourself
- How aware are your leaders around which customer touch points should be digitised and which must be left alone?
- Do your teams know how to use traditional and non-traditional media to actively engage with hyper critical customers, talent and prospects?
- Does your organisation mine the data you are currently collecting about your customers and turning it into a strategic asset?
- Does your organisation’s offering actually matter in today’s market and, more importantly, will it truly matter tomorrow?
What’s in it for me – what will you learn?
- Which new markets you should target, and how to identify and engage them
- How to utilise specific forms of new media in order to communicate powerfully and engage audiences
- How to step back and deconstruct your own business model to identify new, non-traditional partnerships
- How to sort through the data storm to turn customer insight into intelligent and strategic business assets
- How to build innovation strategy that disrupts your competitors

Topic: Cosmeceuticals in the compounding arena
The main goal is sharing information about cosmeceuticals that compounding pharmacists can utilise and implement in their everyday practice. Topics that will be covered include legislation, cosmetic ingredients and formulations and market opportunities for the compounding pharmacy in the world of pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry.
With growing customer awareness and concerns about cosmetic ingredients many pharmacists may find that their knowledge base is not always sufficient to give appropriate answers. Traditionally, enrolment in the pharmacy profession and cosmetic industry was kept separate. As a result pharmacists did not have the opportunity to learn about cosmetics and cosmetic chemists don't know much about medications. However, as the science goes deeper into revealing molecular mechanisms of action of conditions and diseases and how certain substances affect these processes, current definitions of medicine and cosmetics are challenged daily. This phenomenon led to the creation of the word – cosmeceuticals – products that are regarded as cosmetics that provide medical or drug-like benefits. During this talk explanation about pros and cons for this terminology will be presented, as well as the pharmacists' role, responsibilities and compounding opportunities.
Learning objectives:
- Expanding knowledge base pharmacists have about cosmetics and formulations
- Opportunities and limitations of formulating cosmetic products in compounding pharmacy
- How to improve customer care by applying knowledge about cosmetics

Topic: Pharmacogenomics – A new innovation in pharmacy clinical practice
Pharmacogenomics is transforming the practice of medicine by providing clinicians with the tools to predict whether a medication will be effective and safe for a particular person and to help prevent adverse drug reactions. There are now gene tests available to determine the most accurate dose for the individual patient. It is envisaged that compounding pharmacists are expected to provide specific dosages for patients following this type of testing. This testing is currently available in Australia covering approximately 50% of drugs in clinical practice and the list is growing.
Currently medications are prescribed on a "one size fits all" approach, but they don't work the same way for everyone. It can be difficult to predict who will benefit from a medication, who will not respond at all, and who will experience negative side effects. Of these patients, some will respond as expected to the treatment without side-effects, some will have minimal or sub therapeutic response and some will experience significant side-effects that would result in ceasing of the medication.
The one size fits all approach to prescribing assumes that all patients process medications in the same way. In fact pharmacogenomics shows the significant variability amongst individuals in the general population and can identify how different individuals will respond to the same drug.
Pharmacogenomics has the clear potential to improve patient safety and quality of care by reducing adverse drug events and improving the effectiveness of pharmaceuticals by prescribing the right drug and dose the first time.
