To attend this masterclass it is required that you are a qualified and practising pharmacist.

The masterclass is ideal for pharmacists with an interest or understanding of paediatric pharmaceutical care. We will accept pharmacists from all specialities and backgrounds and, although the content is primarily designed for overseas pharmacists, UK pharmacists are also more than welcome to attend.

Format

Four exciting half-day online sessions have been designed to explore the latest developments and best practice in the safe use of medicines in children. The programme aims to demonstrate and share examples of good pharmaceutical practice via a blending teaching approach comprising lectures, tutorials, patient case discussion with a focus on practical application of skills and knowledge. The programme is delivered by expert paediatric pharmacists who are experienced in delivering patient-centred care as part of the multi-disciplinary team.
