Pharmacy Accuracy Checking Technician

Te Whatu Ora has agreed to fund 205 pharmacy accuracy checking technicians (PACTs) to be trained over two and a half years, starting in November.

Hospital pharmacists and technicians in New Zealand and Australia have teamed up to share practices, education and knowledge 

As pharmacies expand the services they offer, they’re being advised to put time into training their technicians from the ground up so they can work at the top of their scope and free pharmacists to focus on clinical tasks

The Pharmaceutical Society of New Zealand has launched a suite of changes to the rules governing Pharmacy Accuracy Checking Technicians that it hopes will remove barriers to techs moving into those roles
