In this episode of Be Risk Ready, we demystify what really happens when a regulatory notification is made about a pharmacist. Featuring insights from Ahpra’s Acting Executive Director of Health Regulation at Ahpra, Monica Lambley, and PDL Professional Officer Naomi Lim, the discussion breaks down a process that can often feel daunting. 

Listeners will gain an understanding of what regulatory notifications involve, why they occur, how they’re assessed, and the misconceptions that can lead to unnecessary concern. The episode also offers practical strategies to help pharmacists navigate the experience with greater confidence. 

At the end of this podcast, pharmacists will be able to: 

  • Discuss the process of a regulatory notification and some common reasons they occur  
  • Explore learning opportunities that arise from the regulatory notification process, including support systems and resources that help pharmacists respond constructively and move forward 
  • Recognise a few proactive strategies to minimise the likelihood of receiving a regulatory notification
