Clinical governance e-learning programme is now easier to access
The clinical
governance e-learning programme jointly launched by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society and the NHS Clinical Governance Support Team (PJ, 20 May, p606) has been moved to a new web address to make it easier for pharmacists to use.
The online package has moved from www.casu.interwise.com/casu/portal/itcg
to www.cg4cp.org.uk. It can now also be placed onto portable media so
that pharmacy multiples whose branch staff do not have access to the
internet will also be able to use the programme.
The resource aims to provide a basic level introduction to clinical governance
and the components within it as they relate to community pharmacy and
the new community pharmacy contract.
The online programme consists of seven interactive modules covering cover
the range of requirements placed on pharmacy contractors through the
new contract in England and Wales, as well as a number of issues highlighted
through recent public inquiries such as the Shipman Inquiry.
David Pruce, the Society’s Director of Practice and Quality Improvement,
said: “The online clinical governance package has been extremely
well received since its launch in May and improvements to the technical
side reflect the fact that we expect more and more people to log on as
time passes. It is an invaluable resource for community pharmacists who
need to keep abreast of important clinical governance issues.”
