Advanced practice progress
December 9, 2013
The Advanced Pharmacy Practice
Framework Steering Committee
(APPFSC) has confirmed in-principle
agreement on the structure of
an advanced pharmacy practice
recognition model for Australian
pharmacists.
The APPFSC, which comprises
representatives from across
the Australian pharmacy sector
including the PSA, Pharmacy Guild,
SHPA, AACP, PDL, ACP, Pharmacy
Board, APC and the Council of
Pharmacy Schools, will present
a paper describing the proposed
model to Steering Committee
organisations shortly, with the
aim of seeking their endorsement
before the end of the year.
A communiqué from the APPFSC
has also announced the launch of
a new website which provides a
central repository for pharmacists
to readily access information
and resources on competency
standards-related initiatives.
The APPFSC said that all of
its participating organisations
are supporting the site, where
materials on advanced pharmacy
practice will be uploaded regularly.
The site is now online at
advancedpharmacypractice.com.au
and includes the Advanced
Pharmacy Practice Framework
released late last year as well
as a range of other local and
international resources.
