Greetings, Aussie pharmacists and international friends: welcome to the #WePhOz community!

@WePharmerOz are hosting our fourth Tweet chat using #wephoz on Wednesday 8th of June at 8pm EST.

For our fourth tweet chat, we're talking all about "Pharmacists in General Practice"

If you’ve been paying attention for the last year or so,then the idea of pharmacists working in GP practices won’t be too much of a revelation for you – there have been a small but dedicated number of pharmacists working in this arena, and their work is gaining a lot more interest from other people in the industry.

So what does this role involve? What do they do on aday-to-day basis? How is their work remunerated? There are many questions surroundingthis role, and this makes it the perfect topic for a TweetChat withWePharmerOz.

Join us on June 8th where we can discuss the topics among those who are interested, and from invited guests who are been working in this area for quite a while. Check back in soon to find out who will be joining us for this exciting topic in June.

#WePhOz I'd like to start by thanking @topherfreeman for being here, and asking "How did you get your start in general practice?"
@ShaneJacks
08 June 2016 20:06
@WePharmerOZ I was involved with setting up, did some training with @DrBastianSeidel and @RidgeAndrew74 at Huon valley health ctr #wephoz
@topherfreeman
08 June 2016 20:07
#wephoz Glad to be here! I read an article in AusFamPhy by a local GP about collaborative practice in primary care and decided to email him
@Deequm
08 June 2016 20:07
#WePhOz So can this be the chance all @WePharmerOZ show collaboration and solidarity esp for care in #Complexity and #AcrossCareTransitions
@topherfreeman

@MattScott410
08 June 2016 20:12
@topherfreeman @pharmerfour interested in how GPs reacted initially vs how things are now! Possibly underutilised early days? #wephoz
@topherfreeman
08 June 2016 20:12
@sar_sinclair #wephoz grew organically as both parties finding our feet early - started 1 day per week and grew from there
@RidgeAndrew74
08 June 2016 20:13

@NAPSAvicepres #wephoz Not utilized by all GPs at 1st but now all on board once I "proved my worth" both clinically and professionally

@WePharmerOZ #wephoz mixture. Privately contracted by GP practice, patient pay, and HMR/RMMR
@dr_curly
08 June 2016 20:17
.@KennyPharmPhD so far so gd, mainly concentrating on HMR for pt interaction mixed with in-clinic dr education right @RidgeAndrew74 #wephoz
@WePharmerOZ
08 June 2016 20:17
@topherfreeman @sar_sinclair So initially it wasn't your primary role? That's important to consider for anyone looking do do this #wephoz
@adeleprint1
08 June 2016 20:18
@sar_sinclair @topherfreeman #wephoz best advice I received was that it takes time to build the relationship

@topherfreeman could you please take us through what a typical day would look like in your field #wephoz
@WePharmerOZ
08 June 2016 20:18
@topherfreeman #wephoz Was there a strong focus on HMR/RMMR initially? Could that have stifled the potential of your role?
@topherfreeman
08 June 2016 20:19
@adeleprint1 #wephoz Clinical trust and respect very important!
@KennyPharmPhD
08 June 2016 20:20

@topherfreeman
08 June 2016 20:20
@WePharmerOZ #wephoz Initial focus was med review which allowed to show my ability to GPs - facilitated moving onto other important roles

@topherfreeman #wephoz I work for an Charitable trust and visit GP with the patient so see many GPs
@topherfreeman

@WePharmerOZ #wephoz While med rev is an important activity it should not overshadow other important roles of the #practice pharmacist

@topherfreeman 'Proving worth' fair enough. When pts lives at stake, any Dr (& #pharmacist) wants to know others in team add value #wephoz
@topherfreeman
08 June 2016 20:24
@WePharmerOZ #wephoz Other roles: Drug Info, Education to GPs, nurses, pt support groups, Clinical Rx audits with feedback, ADR assessment
@ArnavChug

@ShaneJacks
08 June 2016 20:25
@dr_curly @WePharmerOZ @DrBastianSeidel @RidgeAndrew74 my feeling is 0.2FTE pharmacist per 1FTE GP thoughts? #WePhOz
