Qld pharmacy dicipline

QUEENSLAND pharmacist, Simon
Booy has been ordered to complete
an ethical decision making course
and 12 months of mentoring after a
a Queensland Civil and
Administrative Tribunal found he
wrongfully dispensed steroids and
supplied himself with restricted
medications.
According to reports Booy
supplied a customer with 168
Deca-Durabolin, 54 Primoteston
Depo, 309 Sustanon and 20
Reandron phials over a 14 month
period between June 2008 and
August 2009, as per prescriptions
from Dr Peter Grant.
Booy did raise concerns with
Grant over prescriptions, however
he continued to supply the
medications until August 2009.
“Unfortunately, those steps
proved inadequate,” said Judge
Fleur Kingston.
Booy was also found to have
supplied himself with restricted
drugs including Omepral and
Somac, for which he later obtained
medical authorisation.
“At the time, he was a junior
pharmacist who had a high level of
responsibility and, it seems, he
was not well equipped to
discharge it,” Kingston said.
