However, their role in supporting patients with mental conditions in their community is often under-utilised due to various reasons including lack of knowledge and confidence.

Places are limited and priority will be given to pharmacists and pharmacy support staff who reside in regional and rural locations of NSW.
Attendees must be at least 18 years old to register for any of the training courses.
The Mental Health Community Pharmacy Programme (Mental Health CPP) is funded by the NSW Government and complimentary for all pharmacists and pharmacy support staff.
Cancellation & Refund Policy – Delegates who register for the training must complete all pre and post-requirements of the training within the designated timeframe from registration.
*Although some workshops have scheduled live face-to-face classroom sessions, these may be subject to change to a live virtual workshop in response to COVID-19.
