QUEENSLANDERS now have permanent access to a broader range of health services for everyday conditions through participating community pharmacies, making it easier for them to receive timely care close to home.

“With the permanency of these services confirmed, more community pharmacists are expected to undertake the additional training required to provide them,” said Qld Branch President of the Pharmacy Guild of Australia, Chris Owen.

“The continuation of these services marks an important shift in how primary health care is delivered in Queensland, making better use of pharmacists’ clinical skills and improving patient access to frontline care,” he said, adding it gives people greater choice as to where and when they access health services.
