Pharmacist New Code of Ethics Proposals

The Pharmacy Council is seeking feedback on a new code of ethics for pharmacists, including additions addressing the sale of complementary and alternative medicines (CAMs). The Council said the revised code aims to reflect that it does not oppose the use of CAM when they have demonstrated benefits for patients, have minimal risks and the patient is making an informed choice.

Proposals can be viewed at pharmacycouncil.org.nz.
