THE Guild is working towards the launch of community pharmacy involvement in the Health Care Homes trial.
Community pharmacy involvement in the trial will be funded under the 6CPA and the Pharmacy Compact we agreed with the Government last year. It represents a great opportunity to expand community pharmacies' involvement in coordinated, integrated care, tailored to patient needs.
Health Care Homes are existing general practices or Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services (ACCHS) which will provide better coordinated and more flexible care for Australians living with chronic and complex conditions.
Pharmacies that are located close to a participating general practice or Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Service (ACCHS) are encouraged to start making initial contact with those organisations. A full list of these participating sites, along with additional information and resources is currently available on the 6CPA website.
