The Consumers Health Forum says recognition by the International Pharmaceutical Federation of the PSA's Health Destination Pharmacy initiative (PD Mon) is "welcome recognition of moves towards patient-centre health services".
CHF ceo Leanne Wells (pictured) said the award celebrated PSA's steps to promote practice improvement and collaboration with other health professionals.
"A CHF survey in the past year has shown that people see pharmacy as an accessible health service, and a strong majority of those surveyed would like to see their pharmacy play a larger role in primary care in the community," she said.
Wells said the CHF would be urging the review into pharmacy remuneration and regulation to "recommend the further development of the pharmacy role in primary health care".
