For Professional
Dear Pharmacist - It is finally here, the staffing norms model and guidelines for pharmacy. It is a pleasure for the South African Pharmacy Council to present the finalised staffing norms concept document incorporating the pharmacy staffing norms as well as a separate model from which, by merely plucking in the data related to your own pharmacy (institutional and community), the desired staffing can be determined. You are further requested to provide any feedback on the tool, to the office of the Registrar on customercare@sapc.za.org.
