THE government’s health
workforce review has suggested
that the pharmacy scholarships
currently being administered
by the Pharmacy Guild could be
consolidated with other programs,
to produce administrative savings
and program efficiencies.
The scholarships, worth $1.245m
in total, include the Rural Pharmacy
Scholarship Scheme and the
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
Pharmacy Scholarship Scheme.
The Mason Review made a total
of 87 recommendations across
the various health professions,
but pharmacy has been largely left
alone apart from suggestions that a
“detailed mapping” of scholarships
could be done “to ensure equity
and value for money”.
The report urges better rural
distribution of GPs, more team
based community care and the
development of the allied health
workforce.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 27 May 13 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 27 May 13
