Such an exciting time for our Profession!
Pharmacists already do an incredible job helping people in the community - but we know, with the right training and support, they can do even more.
That's why we've launched a program to enable trained pharmacists to diagnose and treat an extra 17 common health issues like ear infections, acne and asthma.
So far, 50 pharmacists are already in training and another 40 are getting started - with 34 of them in rural and regional WA.
By building their skills, we can ease pressure on our hospitals and GPs - and enhance access to safe care, closer to home.
