Pharmacy guild accuses AMA of making up claims that women were harmed by pharmacist UTI trial
According to Chris Owen, AMA Queensland is run by a 'cabal of non-grassroots doctors' who need to put up or shut up
Last week, AusDoc asked whether the pharmacist UTI prescribing trial was a scandal.
It followed a survey by AMA Queensland that suggested doctors had dealt with 240 adverse events in women who had been diagnosed and treated by pharmacists involved with the trial.
Below, we publish a response by Chris Owen, president of the Queensland branch of the Pharmacy Guild of Australia.
He dismisses the veracity of the survey results, suggesting AMA Queensland is a “cabal of non-grassroots doctors” and the circumstances in which the adverse events were reported was “mysterious”.
