Guy Barnett, Minister for Health A nation-leading pilot program will enable pharmacists to prescribe medication to Tasmanian aged care residents in collaboration with their general practitioner. Implemented in coming months, this nation-leading pilot program is a key recommendation from the independent Pharmacist Scope of Practice Review commissioned by the Rockliff Liberal Government, to provide a comprehensive assessment of the role of pharmacists in Tasmania. Minister for Health, Guy Barnett, said the initiative would improve the medication safety of residents and lead to a better quality of life, helping prevent hospital presentations.
