Recognition descriptions
Resident (ANZCAP-Res.)
Resident pharmacists demonstrate a robust foundation of knowledge, skills and expertise that enables them to navigate various patient demographics and clinical environments with confidence and competence. They use their proficiency in medicines management to support the multi-disciplinary team while drawing on the expertise and knowledge of others where appropriate. Residents have developed self-leadership qualities and recognise opportunities for change and innovation within the pharmacy profession, seeking to promote these and improve the clinical practices of themselves and their team.
Registrar (ANZCAP-Reg.)
Registrar pharmacists possess the knowledge, skills, and expertise to independently provide care for individuals with complex healthcare requirements for a specialised practice area. They have developed skills in leadership, education, and research necessary to effectively shape practices within their broader team or organisation. Leveraging their expertise, they offer personalised patient care and tangibly enhance the outcomes of the services they manage or lead.
Consultant (FANZCAP)
Consultant pharmacists exemplify leadership within the profession, holding positions as senior experts collaborating across patient pathways to oversee complex clinical cases within a multidisciplinary framework. Their responsibilities extend to activities that harness their extensive expertise to advance individual and communal well-being. These professionals take the lead in generating and sharing evidence relevant to their practice, propelling enhancements in care and shaping practice standards.
