THE Pharmacy Guild of Australia Queensland President Chris Owen announced yesterday that 100 community pharmacists across Queensland are now fully trained and authorised to participate in the Queensland Community Pharmacy Scope of Practice Pilot.
"This means there are now 100 communities across the state that have another option when it comes to receiving treatment for everyday conditions like ear infections, hormonal contraception, nausea and vomiting, and mild skin conditions," Owen said.
With treatment for the conditions currently permitted under the pilot to be made permanent from 01 Jul, Owen said he expects even more pharmacists to come forward for training.
