The Pharmacy Guild has advised pharmacy owners across Australia to wait before collaborating with nurses after the ACT Government authorised nurse practitioners to work within a pharmacy.
The territory's government gave its approval to five nurse practitioners with prescribing powers to operate within a pharmacy in Tuggeranong following an application by Revive Clinic.
The clinic already has in-pharmacy nurses operating in Western Australia, NSW and Queensland, despite a condition imposed by the Federal Government last year requiring nurses to collaborate with doctors before being allowed to write out prescriptions under the PBS.

A JOINT venture between a pharmacy chain and nurse practitioners to open clinics that will provide treatment for such ailments as colds and flu has been attacked by the Australian Medical Association as a threat to public health.
But the Pharmacy Alliance Group and Revive Clinics say their service will alleviate the pressure on the health system and have accused doctors of trying to protect their turf.
The first Revive Clinic in NSW opened at a Richmond pharmacy last weekend, after the opening of clinics in Western Australia, Queensland and the ACT.

Health system 'wasting nurses'
Monday, 09 November 2009
James Cook University
A new survey reveals that Australia is failing to make best use of nurse practitioners within our health system.
"Given the high level of educational preparation and clinical expertise manifest in nurse practitioners, underemployment in this highly skilled sector of the nursing workforce represents a waste of valuable human resources," lead author of the survey report Professor Anne Gardner said today.
The study found that nearly a third of the nursing practitioners who responded to the survey were waiting for approval to prescribe medication.
