APLF joins CPD cap chorus
July 24, 2013
PEAK pharmacy body, the
Australian Pharmacy Liaison Forum
has urged pharmacists to join the
campaign against the government’s
$2000 cap on deductible education
expenses, by signing the online
petition at the Scrap the Cap
website www.scrapthecap.com.au.
The APLF, which includes SHPA,
the PSA, the Pharmacy Guild,
PDL, union group Professional
Pharmacists Australia, AACP, the
Australian College of Pharmacy,
NAPSA, the Council of Pharmacy
Schools Australia/NZ and the
Australian Pharmacy Council,
says that the cost to a pharmacist
of meeting the mandatory CPD
requirements for registration “may
easily exceed the proposed cap”.
“This is particularly true for
pharmacists who must travel to
access CPD activities that meet
their individual learning needs,
including pharmacists working in
highly specialised areas,” APLF said.
Intern pharmacists will also be
affected, as they incur significant
costs in undertaking their
compulsory training program.
More than 18,000 people have
already added their name to
the petition, which will be sent
to government and opposition
ministers to express the widespread
concern about the plan.
