Doctor of Philosophy(PhD), Pharmacy Ethics
Senior Lecturer in Pharmacy Practice at the University of Sydney
Faculty of Pharmacy - The University of Sydney

Biographical details:
Dr Betty Chaar is a pharmacist and lecturer in professionalism in pharmacy. She holds a master’s degree in Health Law and her PhD is about developing moral reasoning capabilities and ethical decision-making in pharmacy practice. Betty has working in the field of pharmacy for many years, with experience in community pharmacy ownership, hospital pharmacy, pharmaceutical industry, academia and research.
Dr Chaar is an active member on a number of Human Research Ethics committees. She is immediate past President of the Australian Association for Professional and Applied Ethics [AAPAE]; member of the Australian Pharmacy Council [APC] Examining Committee; serves on the Peer Review committee of the Pharmacy Board [AHPRA]; and a member of the Executive Committee of the Social and Administrative Pharmacy Section of the International Pharmaceutical Federation [FIP].
In July 2012, Betty co-chaired the Global Working Group on Pharmacy Ethics and Autonomy for FIP in The Hague, and continues this ongoing work. Betty also works with NSW Health on Opioid Substitution Treatment services in pharmacy. She currently conducts research on a number of practice-based projects, such as health literacy, weight management, hospital pharmacy, direct-to-consumer advertising and the needs of patients from various ethnic backgrounds.

Research interests
Ethics in Pharmacy: explores all aspects of professional ethics in practice, including ethical decision-making, dilemmas in practice and codes of ethics.
Hospital Pharmacy: explores the role of the Basel Statements [FIP, 2008] in the conduct of hospital pharmacy around the world. Our research group has established TheWorld Hospital Pharmacy Research Consortium (WHoPReC)to research the impact and uptake of these statements around the globe. Another study is investigating the collaborative roles of ward pharmacists and nurses in hospital pharmacy. Opioid Substitution Treatment [OST] services in pharmacy: this research explores reasons for lack of uptake of OST services in community pharmacy in Australia. There is a well-documented ‘unmet need’ for more services to be provided, and an opportunity for pharmacists to expand services provision.
Health Literacy in Pharmacy: this project has attracted funding from the Guild Government grant program, and explores the role of pharmacists and pharmacy assistants in promoting health literacy in ethnic communities. Impairment in Pharmacy: this study explores various aspects of impairment of pharmacists, support services available and the impact of mandatory reporting.
Weight Management Services in Pharmacy: this research is testing the feasibility of introducing a non-product centred service to assist consumers’ weight management.
