AUSTRALIAN COLLEGE OF PHARMACY PRACTICE & MANAGEMENT (ACPPM)

The College is a membership based not-for-profit registered training organisation dedicated to providing postgraduate pharmacy educational opportunities with an emphasis on continuing education for pharmacists. We have been providing continuing postgraduate education materials online and in hardcopy since 2002.

The College offers Nationally accredited Graduate Diplomas and Certificates and specialised Practice Certificates in a convenient modular format which caters for clinical practice up skilling and business management development. Individual modules allow pharmacists to maintain, update and improve their skills and knowledge in all aspects of Pharmacy Practice and Management.

The College offers a Continuing Pharmacy Education (CPE) program that recognises and records a pharmacist’s ongoing activity and participation in Continuing Education Seminars, Workshops and Conferences. As part of this program, selected leading pharmacy journals publish short self-assessment tests, which may be submitted to the College for marking.

The College also offers a Diploma of Retail Management providing education and training for the role of the retail manager. The Diploma is a path in management education ideal for retail managers, pharmacists and senior pharmacy assistants who intend to further their career to the senior management level.

In response to industry requirements to ‘fast track’ information, we have also developed the Accelerated Retail Management Program. Conducted as a workshop over five days, the Program aims to foster in participants a robust understanding of the ‘macro perspective’ of retail pharmacy.

The College also runs an Undergraduate Management Program for students studying pharmacy and pre-registration pharmacists throughout Australia.
