Up to date: Finding information,  
CPD into Revalidation, Research 

The RPS North East Pharmacy Forum is helping you to stay up to date: 

  • A short talk on ‘Finding Information’ will let you know where the best and most efficient places are to search and find clinical information and to support CPD, how RPS membership entitles you to access to various reference sources and databases and what support resources are available to help you find and evaluate information 
  • ‘CPD into Revalidation’ will look at what revalidation may look like, how it might differ from current CPD and how you can prepare 
  • The research section of the evening will take a look at how pharmacy can get involved in research, what support is available and where to start 
  • All the above will be complemented by display of research posters from local projects 

WHY should I attend? 

We all need access to high quality information for clinical care of our patients and for CPD, revalidation is now on the horizon, and increasingly pharmacists are being encouraged to start exploring what research questions need to be answered and how practice research in pharmacies might answer these. This event will support you in your everyday practice as well as looking at how you might develop your practice in the future. 

WHEN and WHERE is this event? 

Date: Wednesday 30th April 
Time: 6.30pm buffet for 7.30pm start

 Thursday 10th April 6.30pm for 7.30pm start 

Ethical Dilemmas 

An Ethical Dilemma often puts you in the position of conflict between your moral and legal obligations. There’s no real easy answer to these dilemmas, however as a pharmacist we must make a decision in the best interests of your patient– that’s what being a professional is all about! 

You might need to stand up in court and say “I made this decision, which I believed, as a professional, was in the best interests of the patient…..” 

Come along to compare and contrast your view with colleagues as to the best way to approach certain scenarios. Reflecting about actions you would take, or indeed have taken in the past, may change your views and inform your future practice. 

All scenarios have been considered so that they are applicable regardless of the sector of the profession in which you work. 

This event is also being held on 1st April - Holiday Inn Hotel, Great North Road, Seaton Burn, to enable members in different work/home locations to attend a convenient session. 

This event is open to everyone – RPS members as well as non-members 

Please book using the following link: http://www.rpharms.com/events-calendar/event/196/ethical-dilemmas 

Venue: Middlesborough Teaching and Learning Centre, Cargo Fleet Lane, Middlesborough, TS3 8PE 

Food and refreshments available from 6.30pm
