NAPSA HMR concern
February 4, 2013
A MORATORIUM on the Home
Medicines Review program will
impact on future pharmacists,
according to the National Australian
Pharmacy Students’ Association.
“Many universities have
embedded HMRs within the
curriculum and this provides
students an insight into a potential
career path,” said NAPSA President,
Chris Braithwaite.
“If a moratorium occurs, students
could see their aspirations put on
hold,” Braithwaite added.
HMRs also provide an “invaluable
opportunity to work collaboratively
with other health professionals,
which NAPSA sees as an important
step to moving forward as a
profession,” added NAPSA
Secretary, Bronwyn Jones.
NAPSA said it understood the
funding issue, but believes further
investigation and review of how the
service is being delivered should be
implemented prior to its stoppage.
