Message from the President
Friends and colleagues in pharmacy, with this I would like to welcome you to the 2018 Conference
of the Pharmaceutical Society of South Africa. The theme this year is ‘Failure to Prepare is Preparing
to Fail’ and the focus is thus on the planning and preparations necessary for pharmacy to succeed and
reach new heights in the practice of our profession in the changing South African health environment.
At the 2017 conference there was a strong focus on Universal Access to Health or Universal Health
Coverage and specifically National Health Insurance (NHI). As depicted in the theme of that
conference, ‘Wild Water – Navigating the Next Wave’, the uncertainty in the profession around the
future role of the pharmacist and that of certain spheres of pharmacy were robustly discussed.
These discussions and what followed from the conference and 72nd AGM provided the direction and
approach the profession needed to start looking forward.
Through the hard work and dedication of many people in the profession, task groups and forums
were established and for the first time in my professional life, I now feel that pharmacy has come
together and is working towards a common goal and future as one. Universal Health Coverage and
NHI are being implemented and there is no doubt that pharmacy and pharmaceutical services are
critical to the success thereof. This conference is dedicated to planning and preparing for delivering
pharmaceutical services within this system, working within the financial, legislative and ethical
framework pertaining to it and optimising the utilisation of pharmacists and pharmacy support
personnel to provide effective health and pharmacy services. The key role of the pharmacist in
primary health care and medicine use management, specifically antibiotic stewardship, will also be
addressed in this context.
The aim of this conference is to contribute to a sound foundation on which
the profession can successfully build. However, to be prepared and to
prepare for success, each and every delegate and pharmacist will have to
contribute and we look forward to stimulating discussions and tangible
results that will take pharmacy to new heights. We invite you to participate
and make the difference.
Kind regard

08:15-10:15 Session 3: Antimicrobial stewardship – Failure to OR Tambo 2
prepare is preparing to fail
Session Chair: TBC
Introduction:
Antibiotic resistance is no longer a prediction for the future – it is happening right now across the
world. This limits the ability to treat common infections. Global organisations such as the World
Health Organization (WHO), United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) and the International
Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) endorse the ongoing fight against antimicrobial resistance.
At the 2017 PSSA Conference, the Young Pharmacists’ Group (YPG) hosted a session on Antimicrobial
Stewardship (AMS) where the National Department of Health (NDoH) Antimicrobial Resistance
Strategy Framework was presented together with the impact of our collective approach on AMS.
World Antibiotic Awareness Week (WAAW) took place 13 to 19 November 2017, with the theme
handle antibiotics with care. The message was clear: antibiotics are not always the answer therefore
think twice and seek advice. If drastic action is not taken, the world is heading towards a post-
antibiotic era in which common infections and minor injuries, which have been treatable for
decades, can once again kill. Pharmacists around the world are part of AMS programmes.
Pharmacists are ideally placed in the health care system to contribute to the rational use of
antibiotics. Opportunities exist for all to prepare well for the future ahead. In this session new
additions to the well-known concept of AMS will be discussed and delegates will be able to evaluate
their own progress towards responsible antibiotic use.
Learning objectives:
At the conclusion of this session, attendees will be able to:
Understand the global situation of antimicrobial resistance;
Review and evaluate antimicrobial stewardship activities in their specific area of practice;
Discuss strategies to contain antimicrobial resistance in South Africa at all levels of care; and
Advocate for the responsible use of antimicrobials at all levels of society.

Universal Health Coverage
Session Chair: TBC
Introduction:
The White Paper on National Health Insurance (NHI) for South Africa describes several shortcomings
currently experienced in the South African health care environment. Health is influenced by the
surroundings in which people are born, grow up, live and work. Factors such as pollution, inadequate
housing and poor sanitation contribute to the challenge. South Africa’s health system is
characterised by the quadruple burden of diseases disproportionately affecting lower social-
economic groups compounded by lower health service utilisation rates. These diseases include
HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis, high maternal neonatal and child morbidity and mortality, rising disease
burden of non-communicable diseases, and high levels of violence and trauma. This increasing
burden of diseases affects the health of the population negatively especially the poorest groups of
the population.
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a key contributor to mortality and morbidity and include
conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, obesity, cancer,
respiratory diseases such as asthma, and mental health problems. These diseases are lifestyle
related and driven by four key risk factors. They include tobacco use, alcohol abuse, use of
narcoleptic agents, poor diet and eating habits, and lack of physical activity.
The lack of focused health promotion and prevention programme and interventions, poor health
seeking behaviour and the late detection of diseases are some of the major factors contributing to
the high burden of NCDs. This session will investigate current approaches to health promotion and
disease prevention initiatives as well as the reporting on outcomes of these initiatives.
Learning objectives:
At the conclusion of this session, attendees will be able to:
Understand the scope of promotive campaigns and the impact on disease prevention;
Distinguish between different disease profiles in different communities in South Africa;
Identify possible health promotion ideas for their own practices; and
Understanding the importance of the pharmacist’s current role and participation in
documenting and reporting on healthcare initiatives.

14:00-15:30 Session 4: Hiking the legislative mountain OR Tambo 2
Session Chair: TBC
Introduction:
In the past year, a mountain of legislation applicable to the pharmaceutical environment was
published. This includes the amended Medicines and Related Substances Act, completely new
General Medicine Regulations, changes to the schedules of medicines and a plethora of GPP
standards. In addition, the NHI White Paper was published, which will have far reaching
consequences for pharmacists. More changes are anticipated as draft competency standards were
published and comment was requested on proposed changes to the Standard Treatment Guidelines
and Essential Medicine List, the dispensing fee and the implementation of GTIN-14 datamatrix
barcodes. In the health care environment where patient lives are at stake and where one small
mistake may have catastrophic repercussions, one can understand that there is a need for precise
legislation. The down side to it is when legislation is published with contradictory or confusing
content which limits the pharmacist’s ability to execute what is expected.
How does a pharmacist function in this legislative environment? It is sometimes difficult to stay up
to date with everything which could result in professional errors and disciplinary action by the South
African Pharmacy Council. This session will focus on recent legislation applicable to the
pharmaceutical environment, the impact on pharmacists and intended purpose thereof.
Learning objectives:
At the conclusion of this session, attendees will be able to:
Understand recent or proposed legislation that will impact the pharmacist in South Africa;
Evaluate the most common reasons for professional complaints of non-adherence to legislation,
and
Assess the adjustments to current practice that they need in order to incorporate new
legislative requirements.

support personnel
Session Chair: TBC
Introduction:
Current pharmacy legislation expects pharmacists to supervise the daily activities of pharmacist
interns, pharmacy students and assistants. Supervision of all three requests a unique approach and
focus of training, mentoring and tutoring. Interns have a prescribed programme for the year which
consists of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) submissions, a pre-registration exam and
four progress reports. At present, for pharmacist interns and students, these activities are aligned
with the current Exit Level Outcomes (ELOs) on which the current BPharm curriculum is based. The
pharmacist’s assistant qualification uses specific exit level outcomes for pharmacist’s assistants.
Universities are also required to have a structured approach for pharmacy students when it comes
to Work Integrated Learning (WIL) during the four years of studies. This requires students to perform
certain tasks in practice as part of their learning experience. For this to be successful, the pharmacist
should understand the role of being a preceptor who plays a massive role in shaping the future
health care professionals. The same supervision applies to assistants who are enrolled for
qualifications.
Pharmacy support personnel make a unique contribution to the health care of South African citizens
and the role of a mentoring pharmacist is extremely valuable and irreplaceable. In this session,
delegates will explore ways to support their staff.
Learning objectives:
At the conclusion of this session, attendees will be able to:
Evaluate their current level of support to pharmacy support personnel;
Formulate ways to support pharmacist interns in their internship programme; and
Prepare for the role of a preceptor for pharmacy students.

engeneered?
Session Chair: TBC
Introduction:
Primary Health Care (PHC) will be at the centre of National Health Insurance (NHI) and will include
services such as health promotion, disease prevention, curative services for both acute and chronic
diseases, rehabilitation and palliative services. All patients will access the health system through PHC
level as the first point of contact with any health care professional and will either receive the care
they need at this level or will be referred to the next appropriate level of health care services such as
district health services, including specialists and district hospitals. PHC services under NHI will be
provided in public sector clinics, community health centres (CHCs) and multidisciplinary networks of
practices in the private sector. PHC services will be comprehensive and integrated and will be
supported by a strong feedback referral system and planned patient transportation between the
levels of care where appropriate.
South Africa already has an extensive set of treatment guidelines in the public sector. These
guidelines are called ‘Standard Treatment Guidelines’ and are linked to an Essential Medicine List
(EML). They are available for PHC, Adult Hospital care and Paediatric Hospital care. In this session the
role of PHC in NHI will be debated and delegates will be able to identify their role in PHC and NHI.
Learning objectives:
At the conclusion of this session, attendees will be able to:
Advocate the role of PHC in NHI and the healthcare environment in South Africa;
Understand the concept of multidisciplinary practices; and
Identify areas where a pharmacist can contribute and play a role in PHC.

Session Chair: TBC
Introduction:
In South Africa, a variety of reimbursement models exists in the public health sector, private health
sector where third party payers play a significant role, all in addition to out of pocket payments.
From a health systems perspective, these models need to be cost-effective. For pharmacies, they
must also provide adequate compensation to enable sustainable access to medicines and delivery of
comprehensive pharmacy services, including important public health services.
The proposed remuneration model for National Health Insurance (NHI) that will be used to pay
contracted providers at Primary Health Care (PHC) level will be a risk-adjusted capitation system
with an element of performance-based payment. A key issue will be to determine the capitation rate
i.e. the average cost of providing the clinic and community-based services per person. The White
Paper on NHI claims that a fee-for-service (FFS) will not be used in general as a mechanism for
provider payment at PHC level because by its nature, payment is limited to one provider for one
interaction. At hospital level, payment related to services delivered would be determined through a

08:15-10:15 Session 1: Personal development for young pharmacists Cape Town International
Session Chair: Mr Shawn Zeelie Breakaway room
Introduction:
When a pharmacy student graduates from university, it is common to think that you’ve ‘arrived at
your destination’ and that training, studying and learning is a thing of the past. Unfortunately, for
those in professions such as pharmacy, this is far removed from the truth. After a pharmacy student
has accomplished the necessary knowledge and skills as required during the BPharm programme,
another type of ‘training’ appears on the horizon. This time there is a slight difference – you no
longer do it to please a lecturer, now you do this to develop yourself and to become better at what
you do.
Personal development may include a variety of topics such as communication, management,
leadership, interpersonal skills, retirement planning, etc. It is in reality anything that you discover
along the line that you may need to develop into a better version of yourself.
This session will equip the attendees with the necessary knowledge of how professionalism will
enable them to grow in their professional careers. We will also learn how to overcome obstacles
that might be hindering the development of professionals.
Learning objectives:
At the conclusion of this session, attendees will be able to:
Understand the concept of personal development;
List potential areas for personal development;
Identify possible obstacles that may hinder personal development; and
Envision the impact of personal development on their career path.

Session Chair: Mr Gawie Malan & Ms Lorraine Osman Breakaway room
Introduction:
The role of the pharmacist is changing regularly. They say we will play a significant role in the NHI
although the White Paper doesn’t echo the same statement. Community pharmacies should be the
entry level in NHI providing primary health care services to every South African citizen but rumour
has it that that will be done by PHC nurses. The same services must be provided by private and
public hospitals under NHI but will the quality and customer satisfaction be the same? Industry is
encouraged to come up with medications for currently untreatable diseases, but generic substitution
is demanded by third party payers.
We are familiar with the current status quo and sometimes mistake this comfort zone for best
practice. However, change creates fear which leads to resistance. This resistance can sometimes be
because we do not believe it is in the organisation’s best interest to change, because we will not be
able to do our tasks as well as we did it before the change, and it creates uncertainty for the future.
In this session, attendees will get a snapshot of how the current status quo will change for
community, hospital and industry pharmacists. Attendees will then debate whether these
anticipated changes are good or bad.
Learning objectives:
At the conclusion of this session, attendees will be able to:
Identify potential changes anticipated in different sectors;
Debate whether these anticipated changes will be to the profession’s advantage or
disadvantage;
Develop plans to overcome the different obstacles by preparing for the changes; and
Learn from experience.
