THE Victorian Department of Health has confirmed an extension of the Victorian Hospital Pharmacy Intern Program, including an expansion of the scheme from 80 to 100 placements in 2021.
The Society of Hospital Pharmacists of Australia has welcomed the three-year extension of its partnership with the department, which was announced earlier this month as part of the 2017/18 Vic state budget.
SHPA ceo Kristin Michaels said the move provided more opportunities for the best and brightest young pharmacists.
More than 20 metropolitan and regional hospitals and healthcare services are participating in the program facilitated by the SHPA, which will host an information night on the scheme on Wed 30 May at Collingwood Town Hall.
