THE Pharmacy Guild of Australia WA Branch has announced that universities in Western Australia will begin offering enrolments for the required training under the Enhanced Access Community Pharmacy Pilot (PD 20 Jun).
Patients will be able to access services through community pharmacies by the end of 2026, with participating pharmacists able to assess, manage, and treat a range of conditions in a community pharmacy, and to prescribe appropriate Schedule Four medicines for treatment.
The Western Australian Government has dedicated $1.26 million to support the initial intake of pharmacists, with training expected to commence in Sep.
Pharmacy Guild of Australia WA Branch President, Andrew Ngeow, said: "Today is a significant first step in building a program that can ensure that patients have access to the services of the Enhanced Access Community Pharmacy Pilot, across metropolitan and all regional areas of the state."
