THE impact of codeine re-scheduling in Feb 2018 will be the focus of multiple education sessions at this year's Pharmacy Connect, conference convenor Kos Sclavos has announced.
"We all know that 01 Feb is not an ideal time for change in pharmacy, with limited accessibility of pharmacy reps after Christmas trading and during their conference period," Sclavos explained.
"Due to the timing, I predict that this change will be even more difficult and complex to manage than anticipated.
"There are a number of changes that pharmacy will need to understand and digest prior to 01 Feb."
Sclavos added that the conference had developed an education program to assist owners, managers, pharmacists and key staff in the lead up to this change.
"The presentations differ in approach to the issues and thus delegates can consider their own solution", Sclavos said.
AFT and RB are session sponsors.
