Matt Pettit – Western Australia

*Independent* provider of Home Medicine Reviews (HMRs)

Mentor of Pharmacists undergoing Accreditation via the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia

About Me:

I graduated from Curtin University, in Western Australia, in 2002.

I currently work part-time (FTE 0.6) from Monday to Wednesday (approximately 0800am to 1630pm) at Bunbury Hospital.  I’m at home with my children (aged 7 and 9 years) on Thursday and Friday. 

​Currently, my main employment is as a Chronic Condition Care Coordinator (supporting patients to optimally self-manage their COPD & Cardiac Failure) for the WA Country Health Service (WACHS-South-West) based at Bunbury Hospital (on secondment from my substantive position of Regional Clinical Pharmacist). 

Previously, I rotated at approximately 6-monthly intervals through a variety of wards including General Medicine, Intensive Care, Surgical (General Surgery & Orthopaedics), Subacute (Geriatric Rehabilitation Unit), Psychiatry, Maternity and Paediatric Wards.

​I am also available to conduct HMRs / RMMRs upon referral; I have been conducting these reviews since 2007.

In my previous roles, I have been employed by GP Down South, as an NPS Facilitator providing non-biased, evidence-based education to GPs and other Health Professionals on a variety of clinical topics through NPS MedicineWise using Academic Detailing & Case Studies.

I previously worked as a Mentor to Candidate-Pharmacists undergoing Accreditation for the (now defunct) Australian Association of Accredited Pharmacists (AACP) since around 2009.

Prior to 2009, I was based in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, working as a clinical pharmacist at Kalgoorlie Hospital, conducting HMRs / RMMRs, and spent around four years in the early part of my career as a Community Pharmacist.
