Diabetes in Practice for Pharmacists

About Diabetes in Practice for Pharmacists

Diabetes Qualified is proud to collaborate with the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia in the co-development of the Diabetes in Practice for Pharmacists course. The course is aimed at supporting and improving health service delivery within all pharmacy practice settings, by enhancing pharmacists’ health literacy to improve health outcomes for people living with diabetes.

The course focuses on how pharmacists can interact and communicate complex medical information to patients who may not have well-developed health literacy. Pharmacists will be able to ask people with diabetes more meaningful questions, support their medication usage and product choices and have supportive conversations, giving advice or referring on where needed.

Accreditation number: CX19003

This activity has been accredited for 9 hours of Group 1 CPD (or 9 CPD credits), suitable for inclusion in an individual pharmacist’s CPD plan, which can be converted 9 hours of Group 2 CPD (18 CPD credits) upon successful completion of relevant assessment activities
