Scope of Practice Review wants chiros referring to surgeons and mandatory GP practice accreditation
The report has recommended a committee, appointed by the Federal Government, to advise on scope-of-practice changes.
Allowing chiropractors to directly refer to orthopaedic surgeons under Medicare and mandatory accreditation for all GP practices are two of the radical suggestions in the Federal Government’s Scope of Practice Review report.
Published on Tuesday, its 216-page final report also suggests harmonising state and territory regulations on who can and cannot prescribe S4 drugs to patients.
