Development opportunity for community pharmacists

New continuing professional development (CPD) opportunities for pharmacists are available, coordinated by Health Education England (HEE), and funded by the Pharmacy Integration Programme, to help improve the care of patients presenting with minor illness through the NHS Community Pharmacist Consultation Service.

A programme of interactive online workshops and learning is being delivered to support community pharmacists in effective patient-facing consultations and clinical assessments for a range of common minor illnesses. The CPD is being delivered in partnership with the Royal Pharmaceutical Society, Royal College of General Practitioners and the Centre for Pharmacy Postgraduate Education. It will be facilitated by approved medics including GPs and advanced practitioner trainers.
