PSSA Young Pharmacists’ Group: Welcoming the new YPG steering committee and future plans

Abstract

The Young Pharmacists’ Group (YPG) of the Pharmaceutical Society of South Africa (PSSA) held its Business Meeting (BM) on 04 June 2024. This highlighted the success of the introduction of the portfolio subcommittees in 2023-2024 and saw the election of the 2024-2025 Steering Committee (SC).

Notable developments included the proposal of motions to expand the committee with additional positions in the future. These potential new roles include a Secretary, Liaison Coordinator, and Chair-elect, which will be further developed by the incoming SC should the motion be ratified at the PSSA AGM. Our goal with these motions is to promote our early career pharmacists, facilitate opportunities for involvement in leadership whilst fostering the future growth of our young pharmacist community.
