THANKS to the scores of Pharmacy Daily readers who noted with alarm that there were 10,082 notifications nationally to the Pharmacy Board of Australia last year (PD yesterday).
That figure was in fact the total number of notifications across all 657,000+ health professionals.
For pharmacists the number of notifications was 570, including to the Health Professional Councils Authority in NSW.
This was still an increase of 16.3% year-on-year, with notifications about pharmacists representing just over 5% of all AHPRA matters.
The percentage of registered pharmacists with notifications was 1.9%, 0.4% higher than the national average across all professions.
