THE Pharmaceutical Society of Australia (PSA) has unveiled a comprehensive membership package designed to provide robust support for credentialed pharmacists throughout their professional journey.
The announcement was made last Fri by PSA National President A/Prof Fei Sim (pictured) at the Credentialed Pharmacist Conference (CPC) in Cairns.
The membership package includes dedicated resources and support tailored for Australian credentialed pharmacists, along with educational opportunities aimed at their continuous professional development.
One significant component of the package is the Medication Management Review (MMR) recognition of prior learning (RPL)pathway, pending accreditation by the Australian Pharmacy Council.
The pathway allows qualified community pharmacists to transition to the new program by completing a short bridging assessment or presenting evidence of prior learning.
PSA confirmed its Professional Plus members will have complimentary access to MMR RPL, and will receive an exclusive discount on RPL for the aged care credential, which is a prerequisite for practice in the Aged Care On-site Pharmacist program.
Sim added, "we established in-house accreditation services, a public directory, and are currently undergoing accreditation of our credentialing process for MMRs and Aged Care, which is set to recognise the experience of practising consultant pharmacists".
"I am happy to again confirm that this process will be free-of-charge for PSA Professional Plus members, making the transition more affordable and accessible."
Sim mentioned that PSA's support for credentialed pharmacists is also growing, including access to PSA's regular Clinical Update, which can help keep them on top of emerging clinical evidence from around the world, and discounts to all PSA conferences, including CPC25. JG
