Accredited pharmacist list
November 20, 2015
The Australian Pharmacy Council
has revealed the 28 pharmacists
who have been credentialed as
Australia’s first “Advance Practice
Pharmacists” (PD 10 Nov).
The move follows the pilot
Credentialing program operated
by the APC this year, which uses
the Advanced Pharmacy Practice
Framework (APPF) for Australia as
a tool for evaluating performance
and guiding development.
Ten of the group are from
Queensland, with seven from
Victoria, five from South Australia,
two from Western Australia and
one from each of NSW, Tasmania,
the Northern Territory and New
Zealand.
“Evaluation against the APPF is a
professional development initiative
that supports the professional
growth of all pharmacists, in all
pharmacy practice environments,”
the Council said.
The 28 on the list had their
performance recognised at the
Advanced - Stage 3 level, and they
are therefore credentialed and
entitled to use the post-nominals
Adv. Prac. Pharm.
The credential is valid for five
years after which time re-validation
is required.
The full list is online now at
www.pharmacycouncil.org.au.
