Welcome to the consultation skills advanced page/topic. This page/topic aims to build upon the core knowledge, skills and behaviours covered in the consultation skills core page. The role of the pharmacy profession is growing and evolving, and with the introduction of more pharmacists working in general practice, enhancing communication and consultation skills has become even more important. This page offers you the opportunity to advance your practice by looking at how you can carry out consultations with specific patient groups. The aim is to equip with you with the necessary skills to be able to make a difference with every type of consultation, and help to increase patients’ health and wellbeing. Have you ever thought about how you can change your consultation style to support patients who are living with dementia, or other mental health issues? How having a carer or family member involved can change the dynamics of the consultation, and how you would manage this three-way consultation? On this page you will find lots of information to support you to advance your current practice. To start you might want to look back over the CSfPP practice standards and reflect on where you are now, and any areas you want to develop further. Once you have done that take a look at the advanced learning section and work through some of the activities.
Consultations with older people are commonplace in pharmacy practice, but increasing complexity around medicines and conditions can present challenges. Supporting the older person in making decisions around their medicines and health while promoting dignity and respect is a vital part of the role of every healthcare professional.
This workshop is part of the Consultation skills for pharmacy practice programme which you can access via the Consultation skills for pharmacy website. It will support you in adapting your consultation to the needs of the older person to ensure a patient-centred approach.
