PROGRAM OVERVIEW

What is Drive to Prescribe

Drive to Prescribe provides stage-based support across four phases of your post-training journey: in-training, 0-6 months prescribing, 6-12 months prescribing, and 12+ months prescribing. You’ll receive tools, templates, peer learning opportunities, and guidance tailored to your experience and confidence level. Drive to Prescribe isn’t just a resource hub; it’s a community.

• so much more!

Stage-by-stage support

In-training

For pharmacists still completing their scope of practice training, you’ll gain access to a community of likeminded peers who currently are or have been where you are. Plus, you’ll gain access to tailored resources to help you through your study, OSCE preparation, and implementation of services as you near completion.

0–6 months prescribing

You’ve completed your training. Now you’re ready to deliver services and your Guild is here to offer implementation support, including:

• General condition clinical scenarios
• Peer group chat invitations
• Confidence-building resources

6-12 months prescribing

At this stage, you’re gaining momentum and integrating prescribing into daily workflow. We’ll help you celebrate your success, share your impact, and hone your skills.

12+ months prescribing

You now have 12 months as a prescriber, and you’re contributing to the future of community pharmacy and making a health care more accessible for Queenslanders. But the journey doesn’t end here. Your Guild will help you continue to finesse your practice and open opportunities for mentorship, leadership, and advocacy.
