UQ Pharmacy Business Success

The UQ School of Pharmacy team took out 3rd place in the 2011 National Student Business Plan Competition on the weekend.

The team was made up of Michael Fletcher (4th year), Belinda Swan (3rd year) and Benita Suckling (3rd year).

The finalists pitched their business plans to delegates at the Guild's Pharmacy Women's Congress in Cairns on July 16.

The competition, which commenced in 2006, is designed to encourage innovation among pharmacy students, who will be the future owners of Australia's community pharmacies.

This year entrants were given details of a fictitious "Foundation Pharmacy", from which they built their innovative businesses. Having a Foundation Pharmacy to use as a basis for entries made the competition easier to get into and more fun.

The competition was open to all pharmacy schools and provided $12,000 in cash prizes to the top 3 teams.
