Im about to go on maternity leave, and wont be practising as a pharmacist for this year. What CPD activities will I need to choose?
The Pharmacy Board of Australia states that the following requirements must be met by pharmacists absent from practice: absences up to one year no CPD requirement absences between one and three years complete a minimum of one years quota of CPD activities relevant to the intended scope of practice prior to recommencement; CPD activities must be designed to maintain and update knowledge, clinical judgement and technical skills. So position yourself well for when you return to pharmacy practice. Consider the role you intend to return to, and choose CPD activities that will address the needs of this role.
