THE Pharmacy Guild of Australia's Guild Learning and Development arm has launched a new CPD module to tackle medication misuse.
Using the findings of an NSW coronial inquest into the deaths of three patients from prescription medicine misuse, the course looks at the role that pharmacists and other healthcare professionals play in reducing prescription medication-related deaths.
The module provides practical advice on interprofessional collaboration and partnering with patients to ensure the safe use of medicines such as opioids and benzodiazepines.
This activity has been accredited for one hour of Group 1 CPD (or 1 CPD credit), which can be converted to one hour of Group 2 CPD (or 2 CPD credits) upon successful completion of an assessment.
