Dear Editor
Thanks for publishing the white paper on the The National Code of Conduct for Health Care Workers.
It may be of benefit to Members to make an addition to Section 10( Compliance Checklist) laid out in the article, specifically that Members ensure that the advertising of any therapeutic goods( including things as seemingly innocuous as herbal teas) complies with the Therapeutic Goods Act.
It ' s quite common for members of our profession to operate a shop on a website that ' s advertising therapeutic goods that are neither listed or registered with the TGA. To do this is a breach of the Act and penalties apply.
