THE Pharmacy Board of Australia is set to invite feedback to its Code of Conduct for pharmacists in Australia, with social media and online channels to inform the profession on how it can contribute.
Still in an "early research phase," the scheduled review will also feed into the AHPRA framework used by 10 other health profession National Boards, with some minor profession-specific changes for some Boards including Pharmacy.

The Board also highlighted the importance of pharmacists meeting legal and professional obligations in relation to advertising (PD 21 Apr).
