THE Pharmacy Board of Australia is taking part in a newly launched public consultation, with the Australia Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) seeking feedback on three newly revised guidance documents.
The proposals cover revised Guidelines: Mandatory notifications about registered health practitioners, as well as a revised Guidelines on advertising regulated health services and a proposed Supervised Practice Framework.
AHPRA CEO Martin Fletcher said the role of health practitioner regulation was to support patient safety in the Australian health system.
"We are updating these core documents to make sure the guidance we provide and expect others to follow is contemporary, fit for purpose and meets the expectations of the public and needs of the health system," he said.
The consultation papers are available on the AHPRA website, with feedback invited from practitioners, other stakeholders and the community.
