APLF lauds credentialing
March 31, 2016
THE recently renamed Australian
Pharmacy Leaders Forum (APLF)
(formerly the Australian Pharmacy
Liaison Forum) has congratulated
the Australian Pharmacy Council
for the new National Credentialing
Program for Advanced Practice
Pharmacists (PD yesterday).
APLF chair Professor Iqbal Ramzan
hailed the leadership role taken by
the APC on behalf of pharmacists
across Australia.
“The APC credentialing program
is an independent means of
recognising advanced practitioners
which will enhance the standing of
pharmacists in our profession.
“It will also assist to assure the
public that this formal recognition
of the advanced practice of many
pharmacists demonstrates the
capability and capacity of the
profession to work in new models
of practice,” Ramzan said.
The program evaluates
pharmacists against the Advanced
Pharmacy Practice Framework for
Australia, which was developed by
the profession in 2012.
The APLF is a peak body including
the Guild, PDL, NAPSA, PSA, ACP,
APC, SHPA, AACP and the Council of
Pharmacy Schools of Australia and
New Zealand.
