Strong professional practice requires more than knowing your obligations. It requires confidence in applying them to the situations pharmacists encounter every day.

Each part can be completed independently or as a three-part course.

The complete course provides 26 Group 2 CPD credits. A course fee discount is available to Professional Plus members only.

Strengthen the foundations that support safe and patient-centred care.

This week, PSA staff visited community pharmacies to deliver some of the first PSA Community Pharmacy Palliative Care Aware Packs.

PSA is supporting community pharmacies across Australia to strengthen their preparedness for supporting palliative care through The Quality Use of Community Palliative Care Medicines Project.

Through this initiative, PSA is bringing together practical resources, accredited education and professional support to help pharmacists improve awareness and access to essential palliative care medicines and help provide compassionate, coordinated care for patients, families and carers.

If you're a community pharmacist, here are five ways you can get involved and help make your pharmacy more Palliative Care Aware:

1️⃣ Stock the Core 4 Palliative Care Medicines at all times

Be prepared to support timely access when patients need them.

The PSA welcomes the expansion of the 12-month women's health trial announced today by the Albanese Government.

Previously announced to provide concession card holders with cheaper access to hormonal contraceptives and treatment for uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) treatments prescribed by pharmacists, the trial will now be expanded to all women, providing greater access to timely, convenient, and affordable care.

The expansion of the 12-month trial is expected to benefit an estimated 900,000 Australian women seeking treatment for uncomplicated UTIs and the initiation or re-supply of hormonal contraception.

The PSA continues to support pharmacists as they prepare for expanded scopes of practice.
