Working in any sector of pharmacy can be stressful and at times isolating. There are times when we all face challenges and professional difficulties in relation to our work and sometimes the peer support to discuss issues is unavailable.
What support is available from CPPE?
At CPPE we have a coaching service available to our customers. If you have a specific work-related goal you would like to achieve within a supportive framework and a set timescale then our coaching service is for you. We have a dedicated team of trained coaches who can work with you to find the right path and achieve your goals.
This is for customers who need more personal, one-to-one advice about a goal or issue and can commit to a coaching agreement. If your query is of a more immediate nature please contact our customer services team.
The CPPE coaching service is available to General Pharmaceutical Council registrants working in the NHS in England. It is a non-chargeable service that assists pharmacy professionals in dealing with work-related issues, problems and barriers. The aim is to provide a supportive framework for a specific goal and over an agreed timeframe, which empowers individuals to find their own path and solutions. For more information have a look at our coaching leaflet.
