WITH just over a week to go before medicines containing codeine are unscheduled, pharmacists and pharmacy staff are reminded of the range of resources available on the Guild website which have been developed with the PSA to assist in managing the new system.
These resources include:
A fact sheet outlining the changes
A consumer flyer
A counter card
Self Care Fact Cards
A pain management referral flow chart
Template referral letters for pharmacists
If additional hard copies of any of these materials are required, please contact communications@guild.org.au.
In addition, the Guild and PSA have developed five continuing education modules for pharmacists and five modules for pharmacy assistants to enable pharmacists and pharmacy staff to manage the change and provide the necessary clinical and broader support to affected patients.
These training modules are available at the Guild's online learning and development platform www.myCPD.org.au.
