Pharmacists to review their own professional titles after being accused of misleading patients
Both public hospital pharmacy directors and the AMA expressed concerns over the use of the titles.
A pharmacy group will review its guidelines for pharmacists calling themselves registrars, residents and consultants after the AMA alleged that some patients had been misled.
The recently-launched Australian and New Zealand College of Advanced Pharmacy (ANZCAP) grants pharmacists these titles based on their pre-existing training and experience as part of its ‘foundation program’.
