Community Pharmacy Scope of Practice Pilot

About the Queensland Community Pharmacy Scope of Practice Pilot (the pilot).

What is the need for this pilot?

The Australian Government Productivity Commission and the Queensland Government report, Unleashing the potential: an open and equitable health system, identified that using pharmacists and other health professionals to their full scope of practice is an efficient and effective way to improve access to healthcare delivery and lessen the impacts of workforce shortages and distribution problems, particularly in regional and rural communities.
