Preparation for Pharmacy First – getting started!

CPE have produced some initial resources to support pharmacy owners and their teams to start to prepare for the service.  CPSW would recommend that you engage with these as soon as possible to enable smooth implementation of the Pharmacy First Service – Click here to get started.

We recognise that as part of the preparation for the service many pharmacists may want to increase their confidence around ENT skills.  CPPE are running a Pharmacy First – Ear, nose and throat clinical assessment skills workshop in the South West on Sunday 28th January 2024 at Exeter Court Hotel, Exeter, EX6 7UX

There will be a choice of two sessions, each with capacity for 60 pharmacists.  The morning session will run from 9.30am to 12.45pm and the afternoon session will run from 1.45pm to 5pm. Bookings are open now and spaces are limited so to book in ASAP please click here.

Cliniskills is also holding a webinar on 18th January 2024, 6-7.30pm on otoscope training, which will be of benefit to pharmacists when providing the acute otitis media clinical pathway of the Pharmacy First service.  For details on the Clinical Examination Skills training programme, and to sign up for the otoscope training webinar, please visit the programme page on the CliniSkills website.

Please be in touch with us at CPSW with any questions or suggestions for local support that you feel may be needed.
