Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to generate ideas, plan and implement health education promotions in a community pharmacy. Community pharmacy health education programs seek to raise awareness of health issues rather than directly promoting products and services offered by the pharmacy.This unit applies to senior pharmacy assistants who may report directly to a front of pharmacy manager, under the overall supervision of a pharmacist, or report directly to a pharmacist. In this context, they apply discretion, judgement and accept responsibility for outcomes of their own work.No occupational licensing, certification or specific legislative requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
