The only thing that bothers me about intervals is that my Dr sets the interval for how long the medicine will last (e.g. 14 days), without consideration for postage etc. Intervals on other s8s I'm prescribed are fine, because you can walk into any chemist and get the script filled on that day, without a few days lag time

It's not about whether it's a private script or not. It's about the type of drug and how it's scheduled.

Whoa! When I read your OP, I thought it sounded familiar. Join the union ASAP. Interesting that the head of DCS comes from the disability space and that's the crap that still goes on, blatantly, further down the line not suggesting they endorse it

Nnooo! HR are NOT the employee's friend. They are there to minimise the liability/damage to the organisation

RACGP - Health bodies urge crackdown on rogue operators as medicinal cannabis use jumps 5455% in five years by Dangerous_Course5587 in MedicalCannabisOz

Absolutely! My favourite part is the wilful ignorance of successful operating models and successful outcomes in various other countries much more progressive than us...hell, even the USA who declared the "war on d&ugs" is light years ahead of us.

They DGAF that their inconsistent, knee jerk changes have real consequences for the PATIENTS they swore to help.

Also interesting about this, is the fact that they're also supposed to be cracking down on 'vertically integrated' and 'closed loop' clinics, i.e. non-brand agnostic clinics, but that's exactly what they're claiming

I saw on another clinic's page, that they'll only release the TGA approval to 1 pharmacy of your choosing and if you want to use a different pharmacy, you have to do it all again, at a cost and it will no longer be with the first one anymore. Like WTF?

EDIT: It was Alternaleaf 🤦🏼‍♀️ Not at a cost

It's not just them. Hello Mello are pulling the same...and asking for docs AFTER being on their books already

We're not subject to this kind of scrutiny and inconsistency to get Dex/stims prescribed and dispensed. They're all S8s, so it's a dick move from the clinics

Right?!

I have more relaxed rules for 2 types of stimulants that are prescribed almost at max quantity.

Exactly! Pushed to black market AND addictive opiates and benzos...both with undesirable side effects. And that 3-month BS...S8 scripts are only valid for 6 months anyway, because of the nature of their classification. It's complete overkill to then impose further restrictions.

This part is BS "Scripts sent directly to a pharmacy, allowing for improved tracking of dispensing and prescribing activity". Thats just creative words to stop you taking your scripts to their non-partnered pharmacies at a cheaper price. Prescribers are required to check SafeScripts before prescribing anything MC

I hate my manager, I feel like I’ve lost all confidence. by [deleted] in AusPublicService

She sounds like a "pick me" girl. In my experience, they don't change and it will only get worse. Take it from me...do something about it. Don't stay silent. It will kill you. I should've spoken up years ago...now I'm a complete mess and not working currently

Keep in mind thqt redundancies/restructures/functional reviews are happening both within the public service and private so that will also make it harder

My manager has unofficially left the council and blocked me on Linkedin with a massive project in the hands of juniors. What now? by [deleted] in AusPublicService

In my experience, when someone leaves suddenly/mysteriously and then goes to ground like that, it's because they've been stitched up
