Are you a Pharmacy Assistant? Are you keen to attend the Pharmacy Assistant National Conference (PA2024) but not sure how to convince your boss that they should send you? Below are some pointers on how to build a convincing argument:
1. Approach your Manager well in advance
By planning ahead, you can present a cost-effective plan to your boss, showing that you are considerate of the business’s budget. It also shows you’re considering roster implications and giving your Manager time to make adjustments to staffing. Plus, registering for the Pharmacy Assistant National Conference 2024 before the 30 June early bird cut off will save you $65. It is also important to consider flight costs if you’re coming from out of state, as they will increase closer to the travel date, so it’s best to book flights well in advance.
2. Outline the educational opportunities
Highlight the educational opportunities for personal development and upgrading your skills of attending PA2024. Don’t forget to mention the FREE three-hour Refresher Training Workshop that is a great professional development opportunity for Pharmacy Assistants of all tenures. Emphasise how these sessions will enhance your knowledge and skills, making you a more valuable asset to the team.
3. Point out the valuable networking opportunities
Networking with peers, industry experts, and suppliers is regularly cited by attendees as one of the key benefits of attending. Sharing ideas and experiences with fellow Pharmacy Assistants from across the country can lead to new insights and innovative practices that you can bring back to your workplace.
4. Showcase the trade exhibition
Show your boss the list of suppliers participating in the 70-stand trade exhibition and explain how you can be brought up to speed on the latest pharmacy products and services available. This knowledge can help your pharmacy stay ahead of industry trends and improve its offerings.
Now you are fully armed to approach your boss. Good luck – we hope to see you at the Pharmacy Assistant National Conference 2024!
