THE Society of Hospital
Pharmacists of Australia (SHPA)
is about to release a survey to
provide data supporting a review
of the future scope of practice
for pharmacy technicians and
assistants working in hospitals.
SHPA ceo, Kristin Michaels said
the survey had already been
piloted on the National Pharmacy
Technician Network to ensure the
questionnaire design is robust,
and it will now be distributed to
hospitals across Australia.”
The research will quantify
differences in functions and future
expectations as well as supporting
a review of legislative and industrial
frameworks, Michaels explained.
She said the outcome would help
plan education and development of
the pharmacy workforce to support
emerging needs in hospitals.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 11 May 16 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 11 May 16
