In 2017, Slade Pharmacy Hollywood in Western Australia was one of the first sites in the AdPha Resident Training Program’s inaugural year. The program has seen seven pharmacists complete their residency at our four independently accredited sites located in Victoria, Western Australia, Queensland and New South Wales.
The provision of a national accreditation allows more early-career hospital pharmacists access to the program that provides exposure to a diverse range of pharmacy services, enhancing their clinical skills and experience in patient-centred care. The pilot program will begin next month in Queensland across four sites. This new structure involves six monthly rotations at a site relevant to the rotation area over the two-year program.
Chief Operating Officer, Russell Hill, says the group-wide provisional accreditation recognition aligns with Slade Pharmacy’s commitment to professional development.
“This accreditation is a testament to our ongoing commitment to professional development within our pharmacy teams,” said Russell.
“The AdPha Resident Training Program will provide invaluable opportunities for our junior pharmacists to engage in experiential learning and clinical supervision, ultimately improving the quality of patient care and customer service across our national network.”
