Shared Learning Training with GPs -with backfill funding available

The Medicines Management Team are also working with the LPC and GP colleagues, and all local community pharmacists have been invited to attend a “peer review” session with their local practice(s) in the autumn, where they will explore the benefits of self-care for the individual, the pharmacy, the GP and the wider NHS as well as the potential implementation challenges; they will also look at some case histories and consider the OTC licensing issues.

**This is the first joint learning event for pharmacists and GPs and is an excellent opportunity to encourage joint working and build relationships with your local practice. ** Please note the revised date for the Seaford location.

It is open to community pharmacies in the Eastbourne, Hailsham Seaford (EHS) and Hastings and Rother (H&R) CCG areas only.

Local community pharmacists are invited to attend the shared learning events with GP practice colleagues – the sessions have been organised to support the local implementation of the new Self-care and OTC guidance. Community pharmacies are encouraged to join the event nearest their pharmacy.

Pharmacies that enable a pharmacist to attend will be eligible for a back-fill payment of £100 to cover a half day of pharmacist time. Funding is available for 30 pharmacies; however, spaces will be offered to HLP level 2 pharmacies first and then extended to all pharmacies. The back-fill payment will be available to claim on PharmOutcomes.

Booking is essential to attend using the booking form below which must be returned to Karen Becker    karen.becker@nhs.net (full details below) as soon as possible.  Please don’t miss this brilliant opportunity supported by your local Clinical Commissioning Group.
