License Renewals Due

Pharmacy, pharmacy department and pharmacy depot premises registration payments, and licences renewal payments to carry on a pharmacy business, are due to be received by the end of this month, the Victorian Pharmacy Authority (VPA) has reminded in its latest communiqué.

Renewal notices were sent to all registered premises by email on 21 May 2018 the VPA said, and pharmacists are required to notify the authority of the current email address for any registered premises as well as any changes relevant to a given license.

May saw three panel hearings around allegations that licensees had failed to meet their compliance responsibilities especially in matters of handling and recording of S8 products, and in all three cases, the licensees were reprimanded, and a condition inserted into their licences. The VPA is also recruiting for a Pharmacist Field Officer and a Program Officer.
