This residential workshop is only for pharmacy professionals who are taking part in Primary care pharmacy education pathway.
This two-day residential workshop is part of four days covering essential topics for pharmacy professionals working in primary care. It will help you develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to optimise medicines use in primary care networks and develop your role in primary care. It is intended for those new to the role and those with experience of working in primary care.
You need to attend all four days to complete the module.
This is a residential workshop, so CPPE will provide dinner and your overnight accommodation between days 1 and 2. This means you are ready to begin day 2 at 8:30am and gives you the opportunity to get to know your colleagues on the pathway.
