Needle & Syringe Training

The Tasmanian Branch of the Pharmacy Guild has developed an online learning resource for Pharmacy Needle and Syringe Program (NSP) workers in Tasmania. This course is designed to provide essential background on the NSP and how it fits into Australia’s Harm Minimisation Policy. The course has been reviewed and approved by the Tasmanian Department of Health and Human Services and is required learning for all pharmacists and pharmacy assistants who, while working in Tasmanian Pharmacy NSP sites, will be interacting with and handing out sterile injecting equipment to NSP clients.

The Harm Reduction and NSP training module is available at no charge to Guild members and their staff. For those pharmacies who are not members of the Guild, the module is available at a cost of $40 per participant.

The training can be accessed via https://guilded.guild.org.au/ and there are two options:

• Harm Reduction and NSP training for Tasmanian Pharmacists; or
• Harm Reduction and NSP training for Pharmacy Staff

To find the course, go to Course List>Full Course List and then type NSP in the search bar. The module is worth 2 Group 2 CPD Credits.

After completing the module, participants should download the training completion statement and email this together with the application for an NSP Accreditation Certificate to nsp@health.tas.gov.au. Once the DHHS receive this form, your application will be processed and your Certificate will be emailed out to you.
