Transcript
Welcome to the CPPE substance misuse learning gateway, which will introduce you to learning and resources on this topic.
Supporting people who use or misuse substances is an important role for pharmacy professionals working in all areas of the integrated care system. You may find our Substance use and misuse e-course a good place to start your learning journey. The programme focuses on taking a person-centred approach to substance use and misuse, exploring the individual’s lived experience, harm reduction, recovery and treatment.
If you work in community pharmacy, you may be working towards Declaration of Competence (or DoC) for provision of pharmacy services, such as Supervised consumption of prescribed medicines, Needle and Syringe Programme and Blood borne virus testing. Our Substance use and misuse e-course can support you in meeting some of the competencies in these DoCs to ensure you are service-ready.
This learning gateway signposts you to additional core and advanced learning if you would like to further develop your knowledge and skills in supporting people who use or misuse substances.
You will also find links to key national substance use and misuse guidelines, and websites offering information for patients and health professionals on this topic.
The aim of this e-course is to support pharmacy professionals to provide a person-centred approach to care for people who use and misuse substances.
To facilitate your learning, we have structured the course into four units. Some units are larger than others, but we estimate that you will need to commit an average of three hours of learning for each unit.
