Pharmacy First One Year On - How to continue to improve

CP Nottinghamshire and CP Derbyshire

Join us to review  PF over the past year and what pharmacies need to do from April 2025 .  There will also be a clinical training session.

DoubleTree by Hilton Nottingham - Gateway

Community Pharmacy Derbyshire and Community Pharmacy Nottinghamshire have teamed up to host a FREE workshop to look at how the first year of Pharmacy First has gone and how pharmacies can continue to improve. We’ll look at what’s been achieved so far with the service and provide expert guidance on how to prepare for the next stage which will see Hypertension Case Finding and Contraception Services being bundled within the service from April. The workshop will also include hands-on clinical training for children's clinical pathways, an update on the IP Pathfinder scheme, what a great Pharmacy First patient experience looks like, a clinical note taking session and much more! The venue is within easy reach of the M1 Junction 26 and the A52 linking Nottingham and Derby. There will be a delicious lunch provided in the hotel restaurant. Workshop Agenda: - Session on consultations with children, including Otoscope training - Session on Shingles - How best to link services so pharmacies can support holistic patient care and maximise returns - An overview and update on each service, including a view of thresholds, from April - The launch of two new patient facing websites for services linked to Pharmacy First (Hypertension, Contraception) for Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire citizens. - Clinical Note Taking: how to improve your note taking skills The event is sponsored by Scope Eyecare - they will have a stand for pharmacists to speak to them during the break and lunchtime. They have had no influence over the agenda. Please book your place ASAP and please pass onto other staff and colleagues who you think will benefit from attending on the day, including any of your locum pharmacists.
