About The Pharmacy Guild of New Zealand

The Pharmacy Guild of New Zealand is a membership organisation which provides services and support to community pharmacy proprietors.

The Guild understands the vital role community pharmacists play in health care in New Zealand.
Our function includes acting as our members’ agent in discussions with DHBs regarding the Pharmacy Services Agreement. The Guild is equipped with the funds, capacity, expertise and relationships to do this effectively on behalf of our members.
We provide leadership on all issues affecting the sector and we represent the business interests of community pharmacy owners. We also lobby politicians and public servants to ensure community pharmacy is recognised in national health policy.
Raising the profile of community pharmacy issues in the media is also a primary role of the Guild; we also operate a pharmacy practice helpdesk to respond to members’ queries.

The Guild provides its members with a wide range of services and resources to help run their business including:
• a range of business tools
• free access to Martindale online
• free access to Pharmacode®
• a pharmacy practice helpdesk
• regular publications to keep members informed about the sector
• business networking events
• practice resources
• marketing and promotional material.
