NHS priorities

Whether it’s to prepare for the next Pharmacy Quality Scheme deadline, or to increase your confidence in helping people with a learning disability, this section provides topic-specific pages that link to current NHS priorities. This section will support you in keeping your knowledge and skills up to date in order to provide high-quality pharmacy services and be service-ready.

Clinical pharmacy

Our clinical portfolio is expanding on a frequent basis, helping you to advance your knowledge and skills and deliver medicines optimisation in practice for all sectors of pharmacy. From two new focal points a year to our small group learning for hospital pharmacists – Optimise – this section focuses on clinical pharmacy, diseases and therapeutics.

Public health

The public health agenda is embedded in pharmacy, yet topics such as emergency contraception or stop smoking support are as prevalent as ever. As well as our public health workshops, use this section to access a wide range of resources to assure and maintain your competence, all underpinned by the Declaration of Competence system.

Phone

The CPPE learning operations team is a small team supporting over 70,000 GPhC-registered pharmacy professionals in England. We provide day-to-day support to those users including password resets, workshop bookings, assessment queries and advice on using and navigating the CPPE website.

As a government-funded organisation, CPPE has a limited budget with a responsibility to provide the best-value service possible. We are currently experiencing a number of changes among our head office function, and while we bring new people on board to support you, we are unable to provide telephone support. This decision is in effect from 1 December 2022 and will be reviewed at the end of January 2023.

Please contact us using the Live Chat service on our website, which is available between 9:00am and 5:00pm Monday to Friday. Live Chat will allow you access to one of our helpdesk operators who will attempt to resolve your issue or answer your query during the chat. For some more complex issues, we may need to refer to a colleague for additional investigation or ask you to send your query via email to the relevant inbox.

Thank you for your continued support.
