THE Pharmacy Guild of Australia has announced that from 2019 all Guild Intern Training Program (ITP) enrolees will have free access to the Guild Vaccination Course for Pharmacists.
Making vaccination accreditation a basic training requirement, the new program offering is a free add-on to the ITP course.
Guild National Manager for the ITP Tim Roberts said, "The Guild ITP is committed to ensuring that all enrolees in the program are appropriately skilled to practice to the full extent of their scope as a pharmacist.
"By including the Guild Vaccination Course for Pharmacists as a free benefit with the Guild ITP, we are preparing the future pharmacist workforce to provide safe and convenient access to pharmacist-led vaccination services across Australia."
Roberts explained that research has shown patients strongly supported expanded health services being available from their local pharmacy, nominating vaccination as one of the most frequently identified services.
"The Guild Intern Training Program is the market leader in value at just $1855, offers challenging clinical content, work ready outcomes, ongoing exam support and free access to industry events including APP on the Gold Coast and Pharmacy Connect in Sydney," he added.
Enrolments in the Guild ITP are open across all states and territories in Australia - visit internpharmacist.com.au or ring 1300 110 161 to speak with a tutor.
