ON National Pharmacy Technicians and Assistants Day yesterday (PD 15 Oct), Advanced Pharmacy Australia (AdPha) opened up consultation for Australasia's first competency standards for pharmacy technicians.
The framework provides a standardised approach to the profession in all practice settings and a platform from which educational content and accreditation standards, as well as recognition programs, can be developed.
According to AdPha President Tom Simpson, the foundational document is the first major step in formally recognising the vital role pharmacy technicians play in supporting patient care.
Additionally, AdPha is offering 50% off annual technician membership fees until 31 Oct.
