The NSW Pharmacy Trial allows appropriately trained pharmacists to help manage common conditions. This may include treatment with some medications usually only available with a prescription.
The University of Newcastle is leading the trial in association with the University of Technology Sydney, University of New England, Charles Sturt University, The George Institute for Global Health and the Hunter Medical Research Institute, peak bodies and other professional organisations.
The clinical trial allowing participating pharmacies to help manage uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTI) ended on 31 May 2024. The University of Newcastle is undertaking an independent evaluation of the data collected from the trial. Trial outcomes will be shared as they become available in 2025.
From 1 June 2024, eligible NSW pharmacies can help manage uncomplicated UTIs. For more information about accessing UTI services at pharmacies, please visit the information for the community.
