Community Pharmacy Continuous Improvement Service Skills Australia has compiled an issues register containing feedback provided by stakeholders on draft 1. Over 600 comments have been made on both units and qualifications. The majority of feedback on the draft 1 units has been technical and editorial in nature. Improvements to the draft 2 units include updating the units to reflect quality assurance feedback, technical feedback, clarification of terminology, and overall strengthening of units. Draft 2 units will be available shortly for validation. The draft 1 qualifications received a range of feedback. The project team are currently working through this feedback, along with information collected during in store visits to over 60 pharmacies to compile draft 2.
