The next training event for the GP2Pharmacy Service are now confirmed. The content of the events is such that a full day training is required. We have arranged two events. Both will be run at the Clarion hotel in Boldon. You only need to attend one of the sessions.

Dates: Sunday 28th April or Wednesday 8th May Venue: Clarion Hotel Bolden Times: 10:00 to 16:00 The training event will be based around Clinical Skills Updating including ear testing and chest examination skills.

The LPC has been working with Newcastle City Council and Newcastle Gateshead CCG to develop a blood pressure testing service to identify patients with untreated hypertension, following an award of funding from the British Heart Foundation.
The service will be provided by 20 pharmacies in Gateshead, targeting areas of multiple deprivation. The service will only be available to patients registered with a Gateshead GP practice. Your health champion and any other appropriate member of staff will be trained as a blood pressure champion and will deliver the service. Blood pressure meters will be provided to the pharmacy. Patients identified in the pharmacy as potentially being hypertensive will be provided with a blood pressure meter to use at home for seven days and then return to the pharmacy for the results to be reviewed. All information will be recorded in PharmOutcomes and if necessary, a referral letter will be sent to the patient's GP practice and an appointment made for them. Training will take place on Wednesday 24th April at the Clarion Hotel Bolden (6.30-7pm start) Fees You will be paid £10 for each patient given a home blood pressure meter, following an abnormal blood pressure reading and £10 for each patient referred to their GP. There is no funding for a normal Blood Pressure reading. All Healthy Living Pharmacies within Gateshead CCG are invited to express an interest in providing the Blood Pressure Testing service. In determining which pharmacies will participate in the service the CCGs will apply the following selection criteria:
Please use the link below to book yourself on the training and express interest for your pharmacy to take part. If the service is oversubscribed the council will look at the areas and decide which pharmacies will be able to take part. |
