It is an opportunity to hear from an expert in contraception and sexual health, to reflect on your current practice and share with your colleagues.

The College of Sexual and reproductive healthcare updated the UK Medical Eligibility Criteria for Contraceptive Use (UKMEC) on 5th December 2025. We are in the process of updating our learning to incorporate this.

This practical, interactive workshop is designed specifically to help pharmacy technicians now authorised to use Patient Group Directions (PGDs) step confidently into your expanding role. You’ll gain the tools and confidence to make safe, informed supply and non-supply decisions, removing the uncertainty that often comes with new clinical responsibilities.
As NHS services grow and more care is delivered through PGDs, pharmacy technicians play a vital role in meeting rising demand closer to home. This workshop helps you build the competence and assurance needed to take on these responsibilities, contribute to the NHS 10 Year Health Plan and drive better access, increased capacity, and high-quality person-centred care.
The Association of Pharmacy Technicians UK (APTUK) will also join the workshops to support, connect and engage with you, offering updates on the profession, available guidance and the benefits of being part of your professional leadership body.
To compliment this workshop, you can also book to attend online PGD support sessions to network with peers in a supportive, safe environment. Book a place here.
