Primary Health Tasmania invites allied health professionals working in primary care across Tasmania to attend our Connect and Learn Breakfasts, a new series of face‑to‑face networking and learning sessions designed to strengthen connection, collaboration and integration across the allied health sector.
We’re pleased to welcome Angus Thompson as our keynote speaker for this round of breakfasts. Angus is a Tasmanian-based pharmacist, who enjoys a portfolio of roles, working as a Consulting Clinical Pharmacist undertaking Home Medicines Reviews, Senior Lecturer at the University of Tasmania, Subject Matter Expert for the Australian Pharmacy Council and a Pharmacist Consultant/Clinical Editor with Primary Heath Tasmania.
Angus has built a career that extends well beyond traditional profession-specific roles and brings a grounded, practical perspective on how allied health professionals can expand their influence and shape the future of care.
Over breakfast, Angus will explore how primary care providers can step into broader roles, from clinical mentorship, teaching and research to engaging with peak bodies and contributing to policy and system-level change.
Learning objectives:
- Identify pathways for cross-sector professional engagement, including involvement with peak bodies, education and mentorship
- Describe opportunities to influence policy, programs, and system-level change within primary care
- Apply practical strategies to build a diverse and impactful career beyond day-to-day clinical practice
