Checklist for OTC training

A checklist to help manufacturers of over-the-counter medicines produce training materials to support pharmacy retail staff has been launched.

The framework of 10 guiding principles encourages manufacturers to think about their target audience and training objectives, as well as how training materials should be evaluated.

The checklist is available as a leaflet from the Proprietary Association of Great Britain and can be downloaded from its website as a PDF file (980K).

It was produced by a group of 10 OTC manufacturers in conjunction with Boots The Chemists, Co-Operative Group Pharmacy, Moss Pharmacy, Lloydspharmacy and Tesco Stores along with the PAGB and the National Pharmaceutical Association.
