THE Australian Self-Medication
Industry has launched a first-of-its-kind
online interactive “induction
course” for the Australian
consumer healthcare industry.
ASMI says it expects the resource
to become an industry standard,
“ensuring high levels of knowledge,
compliance and Quality Use of
Medicines (QUM) promotion across
the sector”.
The course offers five core
learning modules, with the aim
of giving an understanding of
healthcare regulations, medicines
scheduling, marketing and
advertising regulations, along with
the broader healthcare system.
The course is aimed at people
working within the consumer
healthcare industry in fields such
as sales, particularly those dealing
with pharmacy staff, regulatory,
marketing and communications and
customer service, while advertising,
PR and design agencies supporting
OTC manufacturers are also
encouraged to do the training.
“With so much reform within
the healthcare environment, it is
critical that industry professionals
are up-to-date and familiar with the
regulations governing the industry,”
said ASMI marketing director,
Filomena Maise.
“Whether you are new to the
consumer healthcare industry or
simply seeking to update, expand
or consolidate knowledge, this new
interactive resource will provide the
ideal foundation to increase your
skills and confidence as an industry
professional,” Maise added.
