The Pharmacy Stakeholder Forum is a joint initiative between the Pharmacy Council of NSW, NSW Ministry of Health and other pharmacy organisations representing most NSW pharmacists.
The purpose of the Forum is to:
- monitor regulatory issues that impact on the governance and performance of NSW pharmacists and owners of NSW pharmacies;
- identify key communication messages for pharmacists related to their obligations and responsibilities in respect of the law, policies, guidelines and standards;
- develop an integrated approach to communicating with pharmacists;
- encourage a collaborative approach to the promotion of clinical governance and legislative compliance amongst pharmacists.completed the approved training program;
Forum representatives are developing resources to support NSW pharmacists. The resources are intended to be used as tools for pharmacists in conjunction with their overall knowledge and autonomous practice. All resources can be found on the Pharmacy Council website.
The following is the latest resource released that offers guidance on the supply of medicinal cannabis.
It is hoped that pharmacists and pharmacy owners will utilise the guidance to help ensure the supply of medicinal cannabis occurs in accordance with all legal and professional requirements.
