Certificate III in Hospital or Health Services Pharmacy Support

Nationally Recognised Vocational Education and Training (VET)

Working in the role of Hospital or Health Services Pharmacy Support, requires a broad range of skills to help patients with their medication needs. Important traits range from dependability and integrity to attention to detail and sound reporting skills, supporting their ultimate goal of ensuring that drug therapy is carried out safely and successfully. Hospital or Health Services Pharmacy Support staff assists the pharmacist in running the operation of the pharmacy, interacting professionally with customers, and complying with regulatory laws.

Over the next four years occupations that are employed mainly in the Health Care and Social Assistance industry feature prominently in the high projected employment growth and will be at the same rate for regional and metropolitan areas, due in large part to the broad impact of the NDIS roll-out and an ageing population.
