Information on this website
This website contains information created by or for the Pharmacy Guild of Australia. All reasonable efforts are made to ensure that it is accurate and up to date through critical assessment of a wide range of authoritative evidence, however the Guild makes no warranties or representations as to its accuracy or completeness. In particular, the Guild has not verified the accuracy or currency of information supplied by third parties, including the consumer medicine information leaflets which are written by the relevant pharmaceutical companies.
The content on this website does not endorse the medicine/product for sale but provides education opportunities for pharmacists to enable them to consider the efficacy and safety of medicines/products sold within their pharmacy, using and evidence-based approach and utilising available clinical/traditional-use information. Pharmacists, as health professionals, have a duty of care to be aware of available clinical evidence that supports the therapeutic and marketing claims made about all medicines and products sold in their pharmacies.
Pharmacy assistants operate under the supervision of the pharmacist and if any judgements or advice of a legal, professional or therapeutic nature is required, the customer must be referred to the pharmacist. Pharmacy assistants may be called upon to advise customers about products sold in the pharmacy but such advice must not extend into areas of therapeutic counselling or medicine assessment. A pharmacy assistant works under the direction and supervision of the pharmacist.
The role of the pharmacy assistant includes providing health care information to meet the pharmaceutical needs of their customers. The pharmacist is the only person in the pharmacy who can advise customers about their symptoms, medical conditions and medicines. They have been specially trained to understand a customer’s symptoms and conditions and provide information and advice about medicines that can assist them.
It is not your role to provide customers with information about their medical condition or attempt to diagnose their symptoms. Your important role is to ask the customer questions, listen closely for their responses and then decide if you should refer them to your pharmacist.
Medical advice
The information on this site is not medical advice.
· Consumers should not use it to treat or diagnose a medical condition and should never ignore medical advice or delay seeking it because of something on this website.
· Pharmacists should rely on their professional skill, care and judgement in the context of the clinical circumstances for each patient.
