The Guild’s The Roadmap - The
Strategic Direction for Community
Pharmacy is descreibed as “a major
practical contribution by the Guild
to the future direction and
development of Australia’s highly
regarded community pharmacy
model”.
Sclavos said the document,
published online today and also
being distributed to Guild members
in hard copy this week, provides
practical mechanisms through with
community pharmacy can develop
future services nationally.
“We are prepared to invest our
own resources to achieve the
enhanced role for pharmacy set out
in The Roadmap,” he said.
Possible future services are
allocated to four quadrants relating
to the dispensary, professional
services, in-pharmacy consultations
and outreach services.
The roadmap has been produced
