Professional Pharmacists Australia has met with Stephen King, chair of the government's review into Pharmacy Remuneration and Regulation, to discuss the "important role that employee pharmacists will play in the future direction of the profession," according to PPA president Geoff March.
March said topics on the table included the challenges facing many employee pharmacists such as workload pressures, the tension between retail and healthcare, pharmacy automation, the need for robust accountability measures and the under-utilisation of pharmacists' skills.
He said Professor King urged employee pharmacists to contribute to the review, with the union group collating submissions - redacting any identifiable information - and attaching them to the Professional Pharmacists Australia submission to the review.
Pharmacists wishing to take part via PPA can do so online at professionalpharmacists.com.au.
