WITH prescribing of medicinal cannabis rising at a rapid rate, the Pharmacy Guild of Australia's Guild Learning and Development sections is launching a new education module.
The CPD-approved course, developed with BioCeuticals, aims to equip pharmacists with the essential knowledge and skills to deliver patient care in this new therapy area.
The module introduces the therapeutic uses and regulatory aspects of cannabis, including the mechanisms of action, pharmacokinetic profile, safety and practical considerations for pharmacists in supplying medicinal cannabis and counselling patients.
This activity has been accredited for 1.5 hours of Group 1 CPD (or 1.5 CPD credits) suitable for inclusion in an individual pharmacist's CPD plan which can be converted to 1.5 hours of Group 2 CPD (or 3 CPD credits) upon successful completion of relevant assessment activities.
