Professional Plus just makes sense

Here’s 6 reasons why!

 

As a Professional Plus member of PSA, you unlock a suite of exclusive benefits designed to elevate your career and your savings can outweigh the cost of membership. Explore the comprehensive benefits that make becoming a Professional Plus member an obvious and smart choice for every credentialed pharmacist.  

#1 New Credentials

PSA members who have achieved their Medication Management Review (MMR) and Aged Care Onsite Pharmacist (ACOP) credentials through PSA training programs are able to use post nominals specific to their credentials. For example, a member pharmacist who is credentialed by PSA in MMR would have the title Jane Smith MPS CredPharm (MMR). Alternatively, a Fellow of the PSA credentialed in ACOP would have the title John Doe FPS CredPharm (ACOP).

 

This is a visible acknowledgement of your advanced clinical skills and area of specialisation, enabling you to be readily recognised as key players in multidisciplinary teams.

 

MMR Credential

Tailored to equip you with skills for high-quality HMR and RMMR services, our course prepares you for practical challenges with real-world scenarios and case studies. Enrolments open soon, keep an eye on your email for more information.

 

Aged Care On-site Pharmacist Credential

Essential for pharmacists aiming to work in funded aged care roles, this credential is your gateway to gaining the skills and knowledge you need to become an effective champion for QUM in an aged care setting. Enrolments open soon, keep an eye on your email for more information.

#2 Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

 

Your hard work and experience means a lot to us. That’s why PSA decided to offer Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), supporting you to transition to the new MMR Credential and Aged Care Credential. 

 

 MEMBERS SAVE 

 

  • RPL for the MMR credential: Free for Professional Plus members (valued at $599) 
  • RPL for Aged Care On-site Pharmacist credential: $299 for Professional Plus members (valued at $799)

 

For MMR, the RPL process allows credentialed pharmacists to transition to the new credential by completing a short bridging assessment or providing evidence of prior learning. Professional Plus members will have access to MMR RPL at no cost.

 

For Aged Care, work experience and prior learning can be used as evidence of meeting the new standards set by the Australian Pharmacy Council.
