THREE community pharmacy qualifications are being reviewed and updated to ensure they reflect the current and future needs of the sector, with draft training products now open for public consultation.
The qualifications under review are Certificates III and IV in Community Pharmacy, and Certificate IV in Community Pharmacy Dispensary.
The update responds to major changes in the sector since the training package was released in 2016, with increased scope of practice and services offered, as well as workplace changes including high staff turnover, more casualisation and increased workplace aggression.
