ENT Training - Otoscopes and Consumables (Ear Pieces)

Following the LPC facilitated clinical skills training event the LPC would like to thank those who attended this session.  The training helped pharmacists extend the their clinical role, in particular to help with CPCS consultations. The number of successfully completed CPCS in our area has significantly increased which is great news.

The slides / presentation from the session were distributed to attendees however if you could not attend the session you can downloaded the slides for our website by clicking here

Otoscopes

At the event the LPC issued each pharmacy in attendance an otoscope kit , including the otoscope, tongue depressors and some ear piece covers.  We would like to remind any pharmacy teams that didn’t attend the session that they can still pick up an otoscope kit .  (Only applicable to Pharmacies in Gateshead & South Tyneside)

South Tyneside Pharmacies can pick up from Edinburgh  Road Pharmacy (ask for Laura or Charlotte)
Address :- 89 Edinburgh Rd, Jarrow NE32 4BB    Tel No:- 0191 489 8053 

Gateshead Pharmacies can pick up from Lobley Hill Pharmacy (ask for Anna)
Address :- 72 Malvern Gardens, Gateshead NE11 9LJ   Tel No:- 0191 42 00 213

Please note: - Only one set is available for each pharmacy so if you have already been registered as having received  a set you will not be able to pick another one up.   You will be asked to sign to say you have received it for your pharmacy.

Ear Piece Consumables

The LPC also arranged from some extra ear piece replacements.   However, these did not arrive in time for the session.  They have now arrived and can also be picked up as above, thereafter pharmacies will need to source their own.

If any Pharmacies struggle then please contact our secretary (Louise Lydon) who will assist and organise with your Pharmacy.

Thanks
Sami
