We have written this e-course to introduce the fundamentals of working in a GP practice. By working through the activities each week you will develop knowledge, skills, experience and behaviours to support your introduction to work in general practice.
The programme will cover NHS structure and general practice, introduction to local general practice, medicines optimisation, medication review, prescribing and repeat prescribing, prescribing data, clinical information technology systems, audits, evidence-based use of medicines, working with the multidisciplinary team and person-centred professionalism.
This programme has been developed for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians working in GP surgeries, clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) and other primary care organisations. We also think that this programme is an excellent introduction to working in a GP surgery for community or hospital pharmacists and pharmacy technicians who are looking to move sector.
