‘You twits’: Guild president takes aim at GPs in wild conference talk
GPs have stuffed up by failing to prevent non-GPs from owning practices, says Professor Trent Twomey
Pharmacists should be allowed to prescribe any medicine they want within their scope of practice, the president of the Pharmacy Guild of Australia has declared, adding that the Federal Government should not raise Medicare rebates for GPs.
In a rambunctious speech to a pharmacy student conference, reported by the Australian Journal of Pharmacy, Professor Trent Twomey said pharmacist prescribing under any form of medical supervision would be “bloody insulting”.
