New accreditation review
February 16, 2012
THE Australian Pharmacy Council
(APC) is undertaking a review of the
Accreditation Standards for
Pharmacy Degree Programs and is
seeking contribution from members
of the pharmacy profession.
The APC accredits pharmacy
schools and programs, as well as
intern training programs, and
continuing professional development.
The Council also develops and
maintains an approved set of
standards for pharmacy education
in Australia and New Zealand.
The current APC review has been
requested by the Pharmacy Board
of Australia and is designed to build
upon the existing Accreditation
Standards.
As part of the process, the APC is
aiming to consult with stakeholders
and members of the pharmacy
profession on the existing
Accreditation Standards.
To this end, the APC is holding a
number of fora, open to the public,
at locations across Australia and NZ.
Dates for the fora are as follows:
Melbourne, 09 March 9am-4.30pm;
Brisbane 22 March 9am-4.30pm;
Sydney 13 April 2am-4.30pm; Perth
05 May 9am-4.30pm and
Wellington, NZ (date and time TBA).
Registration is required to attend
each of these events, and
registration forms and information
can be found at
