Bulk-billing rates in Tasmania 0.9% I guess most of us are still waiting for the policy “game changers” to kick in. 🤦‍♂️ cleanbill.com.au/2024/01/cleanb…

Always a delay in #Tasmania….🤦‍♂️ theadvocate.com.au/story/8473897/…

Outreach a ‘real gap’ in pharmacy NIP service - ajp.com.au/news/outreach-…

Pretty simple. Remove barriers to pharmacists vaccinating the most vulnerable. The planned national immunisation program for community pharmacy doesn’t allow for outreach to aged care, disability settings and at home. @Mark_Butler_MP @PSA_National australianpharmacist.com.au/we-need-a-nati…

Pharmacies that sign up to deliver the common conditions service ahead of the 31 January 2024 launch will receive an initial fixed payment of £2,000, which can be claimed from December 2023. Read more about funding for the service: bit.ly/3FZXHHE bit.ly/3FZXHHE

Happy to agree with @RACGPPresident here….. Now for the rubber to hit the road. #access #scopeofpractice #respect

@RACGPPresident Whilst I agree on ethical / philosophical principles that access to primary care should be facilitated... ...it's a tough sell to insist private businesses with >$2million payrolls, with average full-time GP incones >$300k shouldn't be taxed like everyone else. 🤔 #medtwitter

No. Lack of access to OTC inhaled corticosteroids the problem. Expand access to safe and accessible asthma care

“Work with us, talk with us first” Good policy approach to most things……

@iGas2 @jilltomlinson Yes, opioid stewardship necessary in acute, primary and aged care settings.

@ShaneJacks @jilltomlinson In the meantime, effective stewardship of post-op opioid prescribing a critical step.

Government knows pharmacists are the solution to problems in access to primary care, but the profession can't do more for less - @ShaneJacks tells @PSA_National #PSA23

Surely it’s time for influenza antivirals to be initiated by pharmacists, time of the essence, and reducing barriers to access. RT: Children are being hit hard this flu season. Some experts are calling for more antiviral use - ABC News abc.net.au/news/2023-07-2…

Why do we put so many barriers in place for people to get a vaccine or to get influenza antivirals? It just doesn’t make sense RT: 'Simply too late': Flu season is so bad this year some experts are calling for more antiviral use abc.net.au/news/2023-07-2…

@QLDCountryGP Thought it was meant to be a game changer? If not, what’s the coordinated solution that we need? racgp.org.au/gp-news/media-…

If the bulkbilling incentive changes are the only 'incentive' the government has planned for rural general practice - we're doomed. It's not going to attract GPs to the area, and that should be the priority. And before someone suggests it, we also have a pharmacy & nurse shortage

Pharmacists taking responsibility and accountability for prescribing in aged care - leads to improved prescribing ….. Pharmacists improve prescribing quality in care homes—so what? bmj.com/content/380/bm…

Well deserved
