The Guild and the PSA are committed to ensuring that rigorous, safe and patient-focused solutions are in place to enable this change, which will affect an estimated one million patients in 2018.
The two organisations have collaborated to develop a package of materials - designed to support pharmacists and consumers - which reflect a whole-of-pharmacy approach to ensure the entire pharmacy sector is prepared for the change.
There are also training modules being rolled out nationally. Modules to support pharmacists and pharmacy staff are aimed at supporting staff in the transition to upscheduling and providing advice on pain management to patients. These modules are available for all pharmacists to access via Guild Learning & Development and the PSA's websites.
