NSW pharmacists are being reminded to recheck their insurance coverage ahead of providing treatment for UTIs to eligible patients, said insurer Pharmaceutical Defence Limited.
NSW Health said the UTI component of the NSW Pharmacy Trial ceased on 31 May.
Participating pharmacists are required to comply with a range of requirements from this month, even though they have already completed training, and can provide suitable facilities to treat the condition.
Pharmacists should make and keep a secure digital record of consultations and outcomes for seven years.
They will also need to share, with consent, a record of the consultation with the patient's usual treating medical practitioner within a week of the visit.
Another requirement is to maintain an up-to-date service listing via Healthdirect HERE.
Pharmacies can also first check if they are in the directory and, if not, complete the registration form HERE.
