Pharmacy Managed Care Interest Group

Background Contact Information
In March this year , at the South African Association of Hospital and Insititutional Pharmacists(SAAHIP) conference we launched an interest group for pharmacists in the managed healthcare environment.This group has been formed as an arm of SAAHIP and for now is being driven by Dena and myself.

The group is aimed at pharmacists who have a keen interest in managed healthcare i.e drug utilisation review, case management ,formulary development and implementation, prescription benefit management etc. We are looking  towards pharmacists who are participative , interactive and willing to share their experiences and knowledge of managed care with the rest of the group i.e add value and contribute to the group..So, in effect this would be a two-way process, with us providing some workshops on aspects of managed care as well as sessions where you can come share your experiences, discuss cases and interact with people doing the similar job as you are doing or are experts in the field.

If you have a keen interest in managed care or feel that through your experiences you can contribute to the interest group and assist or guide pharmacists who have just entered the field , application forms to join the group are available from myself. And you may direct any questions or queries regarding the group to me.
