Clinical Examination Skills Training for Community Pharmacists

A fully funded, free to access clinical examination skills training resource from the NHS, designed specifically for community pharmacists. 

The accessibility of community pharmacies to the public, combined with your knowledge and skills, mean they are perfect locations to manage acute and long-term conditions. We are equipping pharmacists like you with the skills you need to assess patients, diagnose common and high-risk presentations, and to identify high risk red flag presentations.

Our skills training will support pharmacists through a period of exciting workforce transformation to deliver the clinical services that community pharmacy will provide.

Our Vision

The healthcare environment is changing rapidly. Roles are evolving. The health and social care workforce need upskilling to meet patient and client needs in all sectors.

Our high-quality training packages are designed to empower health and social care providers, and practitioners to proactively respond to the changing needs of service delivery.

Increased workloads and demands can compromise time dedicated to training and development. We design best practice training so that those delivering care can flexibly develop their knowledge and skills to work in multi-disciplinary environments.

What We Do

We will work with you to understand how training and development can support the transformation of your workforce through the delivery of flexible skills-based education.

This may involve online learning or hands on training, or a combination of these depending on your requirements.

We are geared to provide face-to-face training at a time and place to suit your organisational needs.

About Us

We are healthcare professionals and experts in healthcare higher education. We have personal patient-facing experience of the difficulties and the demands to up-skilling whilst working.

We have first-hand experience of how healthcare can be transformed through targeted development designed to meet changing service needs across the public and private care sectors.

To meet that challenge, we have delivered significant, effective, national training at scale flexibly, with sustained impact.
