2020 Congress Wrap Up

This piece was written by our Education Chair, Chloe Bergquist, and it was originally submitted and publish to NAPSA's ePlacebo magazine. 
​
This year, GUAPS went for a running start and immersed their delegates in the Newcastle 2020 Congress. A week-long professional and personal endeavour that resulted in our delegates garnering a better understanding of the industry they are headed for. For four days, our delegates were immersed in a plethora of educational events that included seminars on the different intern training programs, the different models of pharmacy, primary care, mental health awareness and the future of the industry. After all these inspirational speakers gifted us their words of wisdom, we were treated to networking events that truly brought us all together. These events included a scrabble pub crawl, Hawaiian themed party, battle night and Gala Ball to wrap it up.
To put icing on the cake, our President, Joshua Clements, was awarded the ‘Spirit of Congress’. This prize was awarded on the grounds of representing, as the name entails, the spirit of congress. Josh, as with all the GUAPS delegates, put both feet forward in applying themselves to all tasks vigorously and without reserve. This week is truly one to remember and has given all of our delegates an extra level of confidence when stepping into the pharmacy industry.
A final big thank you to UoNAPS and their amazing Congress Committee as this week would not have been what it was without them.
