UNIVERSITIES across Australia
are being urged to produce socalled
“Program Ready” graduate
pharmacists, who are trained as
part of their degree courses in
various professional programs
under the Fifth Community
Pharmacy Agreement.
Guild President Kos Sclavos said
that in negotiations with the govt
under the Agreement it was clear
that key requirements for program
funding included whether there was
sufficient capacity and current
competencies in the pharmacy
workforce, as well as the ability for
national roll-out of programs.

Sclavos said that if universities
provided details of which Agreement
programs their graduates are
trained in, as well as the numbers
of students enrolled in each year,
this would help in this area.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 10 Aug 10 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 10 Aug 10
