I am very happy to assist any AHPRA Registered Pharmacist undergoing Accreditation through the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia (PSA).
Should you wish to consider enlisting my services / assistance, please read my “Mentoring – How to Get Started” section below.
I charge an hourly rate ($130/hour) for my service which is the same rate that AACP previously paid their Mentors (CPI indexed in January 2024). The time I invoice you for includes any time that I spend reading your cases, and time spent discussing your case with on the phone/in-person and/or typing email feedback.
I will provide you with a Tax Invoice complete with my ABN; it is up to you to seek independent financial advice as to whether or not my service is Tax Deductible.
What Should I Expect From Mentoring?
Depending on the format of the assistance you select (email vs phone vs videoconferencing), we have the opportunity to discuss the case, the types of resources you would need to utilise, treatment targets, the concerns a doctor may have about the patient in the hypothetical case, and what they may be hope to achieve by ordering a medication review. I can assist with you interpretation of pathology results, provide you real-life (de-identified) examples of pathology results, and discuss how all of this may integrate with patient goals & limitations of care. Often writing the Report to the Doctor may be the area that you find most challenging. Utilisation of SOAP is often a new skill, we can spend time discussing how to construct recommendations in a manner that meets this structure of writing.

Mentoring: How to Get Started with Me?
To get the most benefit from the mentoring experience, you need to enter into a collaborative arrangement where both individuals have a clear understanding of what needs to be achieved.
Before embarking on any review of your materials, I will expect you to have reviewed the markers’ comments (if you have received any), and made a reasonable attempt at making their suggested alterations. Unless of course, you are not sure how to progress and would like my assistance with this area.
I like to commence any mentoring arrangement with a colleague-Pharmacist by learning about their professional journey & background as a pharmacist.
Please read the following form carefully, completing each section. Once I’ve received your form, I will receive a notification. I will review the information on the form and be in contact with you shortly.
