I’m about to go on maternity leave, and won’t 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 year’s 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.”
