QUEENSLAND'S Premier-elect David Crisafulli has been welcomed by the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia (PSA), who will work with newly-elected government to support healthcare improvements across the state.
PSA Queensland President Shane MacDonald congratulated the Liberal National Party on its election win and emphasised the role of the state's 7,000 community pharmacists in boosting healthcare access.
"Community pharmacy pilots have demonstrated the crucial role pharmacists play in providing accessible and cost-effective care, helping alleviate pressure on other services and improve health outcomes," MacDonald said.
"PSA is ready to work with government to build on the success of these pilots, fostering a more resilient, accessible healthcare system that serves all Queenslanders."
MacDonald urged the new government to continue backing the successful Queensland scope-of-practice and hormonal contraception pilots, which are enhancing timely, accessible healthcare.
He also extended thanks to outgoing Health Minister Shannon Fentiman for her collaboration with the PSA.
