CPPE prepares allergy course

The Centre for Pharmacy Postgraduate Education is developing a qualification on allergies to allow pharmacists to develop services for identifying allergies or intolerances through a 30-minute consultation with the patient, then providing confirmation with an appropriate blood test.

The National Pharmacy Association wants to pilot the scheme in January 2008.

Any pharmacists wishing to take part should contact the NPA by e-mail (pharmacybusiness@npa.co.uk).
