Bulk-billing rates in Tasmania 0.9%

I guess most of us are still waiting for the policy “game changers” to kick in.

Outreach a ‘real gap’ in pharmacy NIP service - https://t.co/aJixl4R9TU

[Shane Jackson @ShaneJacks]

Pretty simple. Remove barriers to pharmacists vaccinating the most vulnerable. The planned national immunisation program for community pharmacy doesn’t allow for outreach to aged care, disability settings and at home. @Mark_Butler_MP @PSA_National

‘Being a GP is the best job in medicine – we just need the correct supports in place to make sure it stays that way,’ says the @RACGPPresident https://t.co/o6K0wInuA7

[@doconskis 💉 @DocOnSkis]

@RACGPPresident Whilst I agree on ethical / philosophical principles that access to primary care should be facilitated...

...it's a tough sell to insist private businesses with >$2million payrolls, with average full-time GP incones >$300k shouldn't be taxed like everyone else. 🤔

No. Lack of access to OTC inhaled corticosteroids the problem.

Expand access to safe and accessible asthma care

Excessive SABA use directly increases asthma mortality. Over-the-counter availability of these medications is part of the problem.

What’s good for consumers is not good for patients. Over the counter not working

Good policy approach to most things……

General practices in the ACT will receive payroll tax amnesty until June 2025, provided they bulk bill nearly two-thirds of their patients, according to a new policy position announced by @ABarrMLA over the weekend. https://t.co/XcIpcXMbGq

Government knows pharmacists are the solution to problems in access to primary care, but the profession can't do more for less - @ShaneJacks tells @PSA_National #PSA23

Surely it’s time for influenza antivirals to be initiated by pharmacists, time of the essence, and reducing barriers to access.

[Shane Jackson @ShaneJacks]

Why do we put so many barriers in place for people to get a vaccine or to get influenza antivirals? It just doesn’t make sense

@QLDCountryGP Thought it was meant to be a game changer? If not, what’s the coordinated solution that we need?

Pharmacists taking responsibility and accountability for prescribing in aged care - leads to improved prescribing …..
