Pharmacy Daily | Registration online

THE Pharmacy Board of Australia has confirmed that it’s now possible to check the registration status of pharmacists across the country using the online Register of Practitioners which has been developed by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency. The new National Registers are based on data drawn from state and territory registers which were in place until 30 June, with the AHPRA also saying it’s continuing to undertake additional work to validate the data to ensure the National Registers are accurate and complete. The registers still don’t include pharmacists from Western Australia because WA hasn’t yet joined the National Registration and Accreditation Scheme. Pharmacists are reminded that under the new national scheme all health practitioners will have a new registration number, and old rego numbers will not work when searching the national register. The registers allow searching by name and principal place of practice, and give details of qualifications held and registration type as well as any endorsements, conditions, undertakings or reprimands.
