PPDC meets for first time
July 23, 2014
THE Advanced Pharmacy Practice
Framework Steering Committee’s
(APPFSC) new incarnation has a
name, the Pharmacy Practitioner
Development Committee (PPDC).
The possibility of continuing the
organisation in a similar forum
and arrangement was discussed
with members but a name was not
divulged (PD 09 Apr).
The first meeting was held earlier
this month, a communiqué said.
This transition was due to the 10
pharmacy organisation full time
members, which the National
Australian Pharmacy Students’
Association had been invited to
join.
Dr Shane Jackson would remain
the chair, the communique said.
The PPDC would work on a
review of the national competency
standards framework for
pharmacists, including consultation
with the profession, the
development of a profession-wide
position on pharmacist prescribing
and assisting the implementation
of an advanced pharmacy practice
recognition model, it said.
