Canberra hosted the Quality Care Pharmacy Program Roadshow last night.
We were pleased to hear about what the next evolution of Australia's national accreditation program for community pharmacies (QSPP) will mean in practice as it builds on the strong foundations established under the Quality Care Pharmacy Program.

Some key takeaways: QSPP is everyone's responsibility in community pharmacy. QSPP accreditation demonstrates safe clinical practice; competent workforce; strong governance, patient-centred care; and continuous improvement...not just documented policies.

Many thanks to Natalie Willis and Erica Vowles for this informative presentation.
