THE Australian Association of Consultant Pharmacy (AACP) has backed the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety interim report's call for improved access to residential medication management reviews (RMMRs).
AACP Chair, Dr Stephen Carter, said an enhanced Quality Use of Medicines (QUM) program tied to aged care facilities through the Sixth Community Pharmacy Agreement could also boost outcomes.
The organisation said it was "ready and willing to be involved in planning and delivery discussions on how to meet the interim report's recommendations pertaining to the improvement and enhancement of the RMMR program".
