CPPE doubles number of new contract workshops
To help contractors in England meet the requirements of the new community pharmacy contract, the Centre
for Pharmacy Postgraduate Education is doubling the number of its workshops from April to October.
The CPPE will be offering workshops on national as well as local topics.
The workshops on national topics will cover “public health framework
for practitioners”, running in nearly 100 venues in England from
April to June, and “new contractual framework — clinical
effectiveness, audit and record keeping”, running from July to
September. Other topics, such as self care for minor ailments, nutrition,
smoking cessation and practice management, will be chosen to fit the
local agenda in each tutor area.
Together with the National Pharmaceutical Association, the CPPE will
also be hosting three conferences exploring the support available to
pharmacists during the implementation
period for the new contract. These will be held at Newcastle-upon-Tyne
(27 February), Reading (6 March) and Birmingham (10 April). The CPPE
is also developing two open learning programmes: a risk management programme
to help contractors implement the clinical governance requirements of
the new contract and a repeat dispensing programme entitled “From
pathfinders to practice”, which, in February, will be delivered
to all pharmacists with a registered address in England.
The CPPE expects its new prospectus, with details of its forthcoming
programmes, to appear in the first week of March. |
