Public consultation on Framework for accreditation requirements for the safe and effective use of medicines

The Chinese Medicine Accreditation Committee (Accreditation Committee) is a member of the Health Professions Accreditation Collaborative Forum (Forum).

The Forum undertook a project to ensure all graduates of entry-level health practitioner programs are educated to a foundational level in the safe and effective use of medicines, as appropriate to their scope of practice. To achieve this aim, the Forum developed a framework for accreditation requirements for the safe and effective use of medicines, which is proposed for adoption across the professions.

The Forum sought stakeholder views on the proposed framework, which was presented along with a set of consultation questions in the discussion document available on the Forum website. Public submissions could be made during the six-week consultation period from Tuesday 9 October to Tuesday 20 November 2018.
