Adjunct Professor Trent Twomey has taken the top job of what has been labelled ‘the most powerful lobby group you’ve never heard of’ by the mainstream media.  

Of course, Australian Doctor readers are familiar with the organisation — the Pharmacy Guild of Australia.  

It’s famously very good at getting what it wants from governments of all colours and persuasions, although some doctors assume the ways and means employed as slightly nefarious.  

Professor Twomey says this is far from the case. And as he explains below, as the guild’s new president he also wants to build bridges with the medical profession.
