Nucare launches new pharmacist training programme
Nucare has launched a new pharmacist development programme that aims to provide independent pharmacists with the skills and understanding needed for implementation of the new community
pharmacy contract.
The programme, developed with Evolve People Solutions, is based on a
training scheme that has been running in the Midlands over the past year.
It will consist of a series of workshops, such as “dispensing,
repeat dispensing and promoting healthy lifestyles” and “understanding
stakeholders and improving outcomes”, covering aspects of the new
contract.
Outlining the new programme to participants at the Nucare annual convention
in Bristol this week, Narinder Gogna, director of Evolve People Solutions,
explained that the workshops would create a learning network in which
pharmacists can share best practice and proactively plan for change.
He said that successful management of change will be important for independents. “It
is critical that independents stay one step ahead of the multiples,” he
said. “That is where we have always been. We don’t want to
[have to] catch them up.”
Nucare has also designed workshops for counter assistants that are due
to start in September.
