67 doctors sign up to supervise pharmacists in ‘reckless’ Qld prescribing trial
Whether doctors would happily supervise pharmacists has been a source of dispute between the RACGP and the guild.
Almost 70 doctors, half of them GPs, have agreed to supervise pharmacists while they train to prescribe S4 drugs and manage chronic conditions under Queensland’s controversial pilot.
The supervision takes place while the pharmacists are completing their 120 hours of ‘learning in practice’ – a mandatory part of their training.
