THE Pharmaceutical Society of Australia (PSA) has praised the decision to extend Medication Review Numbers (MRNs), ensuring that credentialed pharmacists can continue offering Medication Management Review (MMR) services amidst updates to the specialised system.
Announced yesterday by David Laffan, Assistant Secretary of the Pharmacy Branch at the Department of Health and Aged Care, the extension provides a 12-month period for pharmacists to transition to new credentials, including specialised ones for MMR and Aged Care.
The PSA will also recognise the expertise of practicing pharmacists through a pathway that aligns with the Accreditation Standards for study programs in MMR and Aged Care, administered by the Australian Pharmacy Council.
