The Australian Pharmacy Council (APC)
The Australian Pharmacy Council (APC) received the FIP Seal award for accreditation agencies early in 2023, becoming the first accreditation agency worldwide to receive this recognition of quality and alignment with FIP’s mission and vision and the FIP Development Goals. “With our awarding of the FIP Seal we will continue to expand our contributions to advancing quality in pharmacy education and training worldwide. This includes our contributions to FIP and our offering of accreditation services to pharmacy providers across the globe,” said APC CEO Bronwyn Clark on receiving the award. Ms Clark, who is also chair of the FIP Consortium, recused herself from the consortium’s decision. More information about the FIP Seal for accreditation agencies is available here.
