PSA services survey
August 11, 2014
THE Pharmaceutical Society of
Australia (PSA) is conducting a
survey to help inform the provision
of more evidence-based services in
the future.
The survey would look at the role
of professional services in the Sixth
Community Pharmacy Agreement
and at areas such as pharmacists
working in GP practices, a model
for which the PSA and the
Australian Medical Association are
currently working on (PD 23 Jul),
PSA ceo Dr Lance Emerson said.
The organisation would develop
a sustainable, 10 year blueprint
for the future of pharmacist
professional services, he said.
The Community Pharmacy
Agreements were important in
driving practice change, but the
sector needed to look beyond
them to see more evidence based
professional services delivered by
pharmacists in a range of areas, he
said.
The PSA would be looking to find
and secure remuneration for such
services that had been shown to
improve health outcomes, he said.
The PSA saw pharmacists’ roles
extending to services delivered
in community, clinical and other
settings, Emerson said, and the first
step was the survey.
