Queensland pharmacy trial under a cloud as fifth group resigns
The Northern Queensland Primary Health Network says it has reviewed its involvement in the pilot's steering group but will not say why it is leaving
The Northern Queensland Primary Health Network has become the fifth organisation to quit the expert committee overseeing the Queensland Government’s pharmacy prescribing trial, with its chairman saying he wants to avoid “perceived conflicts of interest” as a pharmacy owner.
A pilot scheme covering 180 pharmacies and a population of 670,000 is currently being developed by Queensland Health to allow pharmacists to work at their “full scope of practice”.
