The review of the Code of Conduct for Pharmacists commenced in 2017 and was undertaken to ensure it continues to reflect the current environment, the evolving role of pharmacists and a changing health service. This review involved a substantial process of research and engagement with pharmacists, stakeholders and the public. As part of the review, we invited a wide range of
feedback on the Code to help us consider any changes that might be needed in a revised Code. Following consultation, and engagement with relevant experts, the Code of Conduct- Professional Principles, Standards and Ethics for Pharmacists was developed. The
Code of Conduct (2009) was in place until 20 October 2019. The Code of Conduct- Professional Principles, Standards and Ethics for Pharmacists (2019) came into effect on 21 October 2019.
