THE Pharmacy Practitioner Development Committee (PPDC) has announced the release of new tools to support the implementation of the National Competency Standards Framework for Pharmacists in Australia 2016.
The tools were developed with the help of funding from the Pharmacy Board of Australia, with the aim of helping pharmacists meet the requirements outlined in the Board's registration standards and guidelines on continuing professional development.
PPDC chair Shane Jackson, who is also national president of the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia, noted that the next CPD period would commence on 01 Oct, and "access to these tools or tools made available by PPDC member organisations will assist pharmacists to meet their annual CPD obligations".
The tools are freely available to pharmacists, pharmacy interns and pharmacy students.
They include a Summary Guide, an Implementation Guide, a Self-assessment tool and a Learning plan tool, with case examples of completed self-assessment as well as video guidance showing how different pharmacists have used the tools to meet the CPD registration standard.
