The pandemic significantly shaped today’s complex workplace and health care system. Strategizing for this new reality requires educational events that deliver in-depth, immersive learning experiences focused on hot-button topics. 

OPA firmly believes that PEOPLE are the most valuable asset in any organization. 

Pharmacy professionals have faced unprecedented challenges during the public health crisis of the past few years, where they have stepped up tremendously to keep communities safe. This role has added more stress to a sector already under pressure. 

Investing in the professional skills and well-being of the people who make up our pharmacy teams and creating supportive, inclusive workplaces can help build a more sustainable model for everyone.

With inspirational presentations from pharmacy thought leaders, RxTalks provides valuable insights and strategies for building more robust and resilient workplaces centred around our people.
