You will build on previous learning to manage minor and complex health conditions, apply pharmaceutical care, promote behaviour change, and use motivational interviewing to support patients with chronic diseases. You will also gain experience in advanced pharmacy roles, such as aged-care onsite pharmacist and pharmacist prescribing.
