Become an aged care onsite pharmacist (ACOP)—equipped with the clinical, communication and governance skills to deliver safe, person-centred care in residential aged care settings.
This program is eligible for generally registered pharmacists with Ahpra (no conditions) that have completed an APC-accredited Medication Management Review (MMR) program. This could include our Monash University MMR Training Program.
The MUATP consists of three steps, following an active learning approach: Step 1 - Self-directed Online Learning: Engage in interactive online modules developed by leading experts to consolidate your understanding of ACOP process and the management of older patients. Steps 2a and 2b - Simulation Workshops and Assessments: Practice oral communication, interprofessional collaboration, and problem-solving skills in simulated workshops (2a) and assessments (2b). Step 3 - Experiential Learning: Demonstrate competency in core ACOP processes through workplace-based assessments supervised by an experienced aged care pharmacist in a two-day Residential Aged Care Home Placement.
This program is accredited with conditions by the Australian Pharmacy Council, ensuring it meets the highest standards for training aged care pharmacists.
Successful completion of this program will credential pharmacists to perform the Aged Care On-site Pharmacist (ACOP) role, delivering safe, person-centred care in residential aged care settings.
