Save the date - let's talk about the future of medicines

National Medicines Symposium - Wednesday, 8 November.

The referenced media source is missing and needs to be re-embedded.

In Australia, healthcare contributes close to 7% of our nation’s greenhouse gases, with medicines being one of the largest contributors. Pharmaceutical waste throughout the global supply chain has led to environmental, human, and animal toxicities, and in the case of antibiotic residues, to antimicrobial resistance. 

Hosted for the first time by the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care, NMS23 brings together leading organisations, experts, clinicians, consumers and policymakers in a timely discussion on emerging and key issues around sustainability and the quality use of medicines.
