Pharmacy Act, 1974 (Act No. 53 of 1974)Board Notice2018 Competency Standards for Pharmacists in South Africa9. Levels of Practice for Pharmacists |
The 2018 competency standards for pharmacists take into consideration various processes of development and are applicable when a person is registered as a pharmacist and able to practise independently. The competency standards have been developed with three levels of behavioural statements linked to each competency in order to guide pharmacists in progressing from one level of practice to another.
The three levels are:
| (a) | Entry level into practice: generally recognised as the first three years of practice |
| (b) | Intermediate practice: generally recognised as between three and seven years of practice |
| (c) | Advanced practice: generally recognised as more than seven years of practice |
The competency standards for specialisation and pharmacy support personnel will be presented in a separate document.
