Uplifting pharmacists’ role in primary care and positioning pharmacies as essential care destinations in local communities
CAMBERWELL, Australia, July 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — MedAdvisor Solutions and the Australasian College of Pharmacy today announced the launch of the MedAdvisor software training – Queensland Community Pharmacy Scope of Practice Pilot. The training, conducted by MedAdvisor Solutions trained pharmacy managers, provides pharmacists with the essential training for the Queensland (QLD) Scope of Practice Pilot ensuring pharmacists are equipped to manage the conditions and services included in the Pilot.
The software training is continuing professional development (CPD) accredited and focuses on accessing the MedAdvisor Solutions platform to manage user accounts, complete patient medication details, message clinicians, and use the Queensland Scope of Practice forms when prescribing, and setting booking availability. By participating in the Pilot pharmacists will enhance their ability to improve medication management and healthcare delivery for patients across Australia.
“We are excited to take another step forward in supporting Australian pharmacists by giving them the ability to expand their scope of practice,” said Wayne Marinoff, MedAdvisor Solutions President ANZ. “The Pilot represents a significant step towards enabling pharmacists to practise at the top of their scope. In doing so, we are moving towards a future where pharmacists operate outside the dispensary and offer more comprehensive healthcare solutions for patients all over the country, while leveraging technology to support better health outcomes.”
MedAdvisor Solutions is the preferred software partner for the delivery of expanded scope of practice across community pharmacies in Australia, helping to integrate the pharmacist as a key stakeholder in primary patient care and positioning pharmacies as primary healthcare locations in local communities.
