THE Pharmacy Guild of Australia has welcomed news that GPs in NSW will be able to do more to support patients with ADHD (PD 27 May).
"Expanding the services offered by GPs, once they have undertaken additional training, will lead to better health outcomes and more effective services," said Guild National President, Professor Trent Twomey.
"We have seen how successful this approach has been in community pharmacy and it's pleasing to see other healthcare providers being able to expand the range of services offered."
"A truly patient-directed health system relies on all practitioners - including GPs, pharmacists and nurses being empowered.
"The NSW Government clearly believes in the potential of all health practitioners."
Twomey noted this is good news for patients, but added the TGA needs to take action to tackle the ADHD medication shortage "which has been ongoing for too long".
