Accreditation Council
January 9, 2013
THE Pharmacy Board of Australia
has decided to extend the
Australian Pharmacy Council’s role
as accreditation authority for the
pharmacy profession for a further
period of 5 years from 1 July 2013.
“In making the assignment, the
Board is conscious of the
importance of balancing the need
for flexibility and responsiveness to
developments (such as the review
of the National Scheme) with the
need for certainty and continuity
for education providers, as well as
enabling effective planning and
efficient management by the
Council,” the Board said.
As such, the Board will integrate
suitable flexibility into its future
arrangements with the Council;
establish an agreed program of
work; and identify key issues to be
addressed during the period of the
assignment.
Meanwhile, the Council will
continue regular reporting (in
addition to reports on accredited
programs) to the Board on its
activities and governance
structures, in line with the Quality
Framework for the Accreditation
Function.
