HWA comes to APP
January 18, 2013
MARK Cormack, CEO of Health
Workforce Australia has been
enlisted to address attendees at
this year’s APP.
“HWA is the Commonwealth
statutory authority whose role it is
to plan, fund, research and deliver
programs for the enhancement and
development of Australia's health
workforce,” a Guild statement said.
“As such they will have a key say
in any expanded scope of practice
for pharmacists,” the Guild added.
At present, the Guild is assisting
the HWA with the Health
Professionals Prescribing Pathway
which aims to deliver a national
approach to prescribing by health
professionals other than doctors.
This process may see expanded
prescribing rights for pharmacists.
Mark Cormack will lead the
Establishing a Modern Health
Workforce to meet a Modern
Health System session at APP, on 23
March between 1.30pm and 2.30pm.
