About Medicines Management 2025 (MM2025)

Medicines Management 2025 is the 49th national conference for AdPha. The theme “IN MOTION” focuses on the “magic and momentum” of the pharmacy profession, celebrating how “connections turn into collaborations, and builds pilots into programs.”

The conference is a premier event for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians, designed to “showcase the dynamic and diverse pharmacy practice underway across the country, in and around Australian hospitals,” as well as in aged care and general practice settings. It will feature government addresses from both the Hon. Emma McBride MP (Assistant Minister for Mental Health) and Senator the Hon. Anne Ruston (Shadow Minister for Health and Aged Care).

What to expect

The event is a three-day scientific conference with over 100 sessions, 340+ poster abstracts, workshops, and presentations. The program is designed for pharmacy professionals of all career stages and is accredited for 16.75 CPD credits.

Keynote speakers include Jana Pittman (Olympian and doctor), Dr. Sandro Demaio (Director, WHO Asia-Pacific Centre for Environment and Health), and Joel Pearson.

The program is structured around plenaries, invited speaker sessions, contributed papers, workshops, and conversation sessions. Specific topics and streams include:

  • Aged Care: In-depth sessions on the Aged Care Onsite Pharmacist (ACOP) care model and “Advancing Quality Use of Psychotropics in Residential Care Homes.”
  • Innovation & AI: “Future-focused AI sessions” covering human-centred leadership, deprescribing, productivity, and using AI to create patient-facing materials (e.g., “Pain Made Plain: Utilising AI to Create Acute Pain Leaflets”).
  • Clinical Topics: Compelling insights into “Alzheimer’s disease,” “end-of-life care medicines management,” “trauma-informed care,” “drug dosing in obesity,” “pharmacogenomics in transplant,” and “preventing new opioid dependence post-surgery.”
  • Workforce & Education: A focus on professional development, such as “Empowering Pharmacy Technician career growth through an advanced learning program.”
  • Sustainability: Sessions on value-based healthcare and sustainability in stock management.
  • Networking: The event includes a large industry exhibition, a Welcome Reception on Friday evening, and a Gala Dinner with a “Roaring 20s: Movers & Shakers” theme.
