A VICTORIAN pharmacist has been found guilty of professional misconduct relating to stealing Schedule 8 drugs from two Chemist Warehouse pharmacies, falsification of records, forging scripts for alprazolam and self-administering the drug.
The action was brought by the Pharmacy Board of Australia against Mr Yostus Hanna before the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.
Given the nature of the conduct, the tribunal imposed conditions on Hanna's registration requiring him to undergo urine and hair drug screenings, undertake treatment with a psychiatrist and be mentored by another pharmacist if he engages in practice as a pharmacist in a pharmacy under prescribed conditions.
