Pharmacy Contraceptive Service (PCS) Training & Local Update

Working in Collaboration with the Local Sexual Health Commissioners, the LPC has arranged an event for the contractors of Gateshead & South Tyneside that will focus on Pharmacy Contraception Service (PCS).

This event is open to Pharmacists, Foundation Year Pharmacists and Locums working across Gateshead and South Tyneside. The aim of the event is to ensure community pharmacists are confident in providing the national Pharmacy Contraceptive Service (PCS) service.

This is different to the regional training that has been recently advertised.  This is more deliveery focused to help get started as well as a clinical update from Katherine Gilmore Local Consultant  who normally delivers the local EHC training.  This will complement the CPPE training.

There will be a live demo of the pharmoutcomes module and an opportunity to ask any questions about the service delivery and day to day practice. The evening will cover the clinical aspects (Dr Katherine Gilmore), the service specification (Sami Hanna/Pete Horrocks) and service tips from experienced Pharmacists currently offering the service (Laura Rowley/Zoe Chan).
