Self Care program expands
July 14, 2014
THE Pharmaceutical Society
of Australia (PSA) has expanded
the Self Care program to provide
pharmacies with information
on how to run a targeted health
promotion.
Many of the program’s resources
had been tailored to focus on
health promotions, the successful
running of which would help
pharmacies make the most of the
Community Pharmacy Agreement
incentives while improving health
outcomes for consumers, PSA ceo
Dr Lance Emerson said.
These incentives are offered
under the Primary Health Care
element of the CPA for screening
and risk assessment and/or disease
state management services.
Running a successful health
promotion was an area most
pharmacies would like to cover
and the 12 health topics available
included asthma, hay fever,
immunisation, smoking cessation
and Home Medicine Reviews, the
PSA said.
Each topic has a one page
‘how to’ document on running a
promotion, and a planner.
The program is free to subscribers
who have already purchased the
Self Care program for $860 per
year, and subscribers can also order
a marketing kit containing posters
and fact cards.
