Events/workshops

Our events are usually held during the evening at venues across the country. They are facilitated by one of our local CPPE tutors and are available to pharmacists and registered practising pharmacy technicians. To contact your local tutor go to find your local tutor.

We will deliver a focal point event and a Route to revalidation workshop in each area every term. Go to events in my area to find events and workshops taking place near you.

About our events

We hold up to six events in your local area each year -two each term (April-July, September-December and January-March). Information about our events are advertised in our newsletter news@CPPE, and individual locations can be found on this website.

If you have registered with CPPE online and we have a valid email address for you, we will email details to you once a term.

focal point

Developed for pharmacy professionals working in community and primary care settings, our focal point units are clinically challenging and designed to help you improve your practice. Our focal point programmes offer the flexibility of two types of event:

1. Attend a CPPE tutor-led focal point event. Go to the events in my area page.

2. Study a focal point programme with colleagues, at a time and a place of your choice in a learning community. Go to our learning communities page.

Route to revalidation workshops

These workshops are focused on group work and are relevant to current practice. They aim to help you demonstrate that you have gathered the knowledge and developed the skills that you are likely to need for revalidation.

To find and attend a CPPE tutor-led Route to revalidation workshop, go to the events in my area page and search for workshops in your local area.
