Competency consultation
October 29, 2015
The Pharmacy Practitioner
Development Committee will
shortly release a consultation paper
on the review of the National
competency standards framework
for pharmacists in Australia.
Organisations which are part
of the Pharmacy Practitioner
Development Committee (PPDC)
- the Guild, the Pharmacy Board
of Australia, the PSA, PDL, SHPA,
Professional Pharmacists Australia,
AACP, the Australian Pharmacy
Council, NAPSA and the Council
of Pharmacy Schools - will be
invited to comment on proposed
amendments to the standards.
During a meeting earlier this
month the PPDC consolidated
several possible changes to the
document, with the members to
provide feedback over a six week
period as well as responding to
several consultation questions.
PPDC chair Shane Jackson said at
the completion of the consultation
period all input will be collated and
considered.
“A refined draft of the revised
framework is anticipated to be
released for consultation to the
profession and other stakeholders,
including consumers, in early
2016,” Jackson said.
