New NHSD app
January 22, 2013
Community pharmacists are
advised that the The National Health
Services Directory (NHSD) has
launched a new app which includes a
pharmacy search capability.
The website www.nhsd.com.au,
and the downloadable app, are
supported by all Australian
governments, and are intended to
provide consumers with reliable
information.
The NHSD covers the nation.
It will be freely available and will
include both public and private
health sector providers from all
Australian states and territories.
The NHSD is initially providing
service information for GPs,
Pharmacies, Hospitals and
Emergency Departments.
Preliminary searches on the site have
shown that some pharmacies have
inadvertently not been included.
It is in the interests of all
pharmacies to check the site to
ensure that their business is listed,
with all details correct.
Please check your pharmacy details
and report any errors to
NHSDWebsite@healthdirect.org.au.
According to NHSD, the directory
has been developed to support
health providers' delivery of services
in addition to facilitating public
access to reliable information.
It will be further extended to
include allied health providers and
human services in the coming
months.
