The Scottish Government have reacted to this with provision of funding of £16.2million for 140 Clinical Pharmacists to be employed within GP practices over the next 3 years as a pilot which will be evaluated. The vision is that these pharmacists will be Independent Prescribers with advanced clinical skills training. NES Pharmacy has obtained funding to develop an education and training pathway for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians for these new roles in GP practices in Scotland. More detail will be provided in due course. NES Pharmacy is providing training to support the recommendations from the recently launched Scottish Government National Review of Primary Care Out of Hours Services. • The national topic for spring 2016 will focus on providing clinical updates on three topics to practitioners, full details are available on page 8. • The Responding to Minor Ailments distance learning pack has been extensively updated to include new therapeutic areas. A copy of a new Common Clinical Conditions and Minor Ailments pack will be sent to every community pharmacy in January 2016. • In addition, to assist with the gradual implementation of the trimethoprim PGD in Scotland, NES Pharmacy recently commissioned Robert Gordon University to develop a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) e-learning module for community pharmacy practitioners. This will be available from January 2016. All educational resources are available either via the NES Pharmacy website or Portal: www.portal.scot.nhs.uk Adverse Drug Reactions – Yellow Card reporting In a recent circular (PCA (P) (2015) 26) the Scottish Government has highlighted that greater participation from community pharmacy in the reporting of adverse drug events will support an improvement in the safety climate. The circular announces that all employed pharmacists, pharmacy technicians and locums should complete training in relation to Yellow Card reporting. To support this, NES and the Yellow Card Centre Scotland have reviewed and updated six e-learning modules in this area. Practitioners can access these modules via the NES website or Portal, and they can demonstrate achievement by completing the corresponding MCQs on Portal. All educational resources are available either via the NES Pharmacy website or Portal: www.portal.scot.nhs.uk 7 8 Pharmacy News incorporating Programme of Events Spring 2016 The National topics Mini clinical updates Pharmacy technicians - Understanding dementia Workload pressures mean that busy practitioners have less time for reading recently launched guidelines and for keeping up-to-date with developments in clinical areas that are relevant to our work. The Scottish Government’s dementia strategy, Scotland’s National Dementia Strategy: 2013 - 16, highlights the fact that Dementia is one of the foremost public health challenges for Scotland. Almost all pharmacy staff in any care setting will regularly provide services for people with dementia, and they need to understand how they can contribute to improving dementia care in Scotland. This evening will update practitioners on recent clinical updates in Cardiology, Respiratory Disease and Diabetes and discuss changes in `best practice’. In addition, it will allow practitioners to plan for changes in their own practice in relation to the pharmaceutical care of their patients. This evening will be in the format of three workshops led by local experts. Each attendee will have the chance to participate in each workshop. The Understanding dementia events, running in several areas across Scotland, will provide pharmacy technicians with a better understanding of the diagnosis and treatment of dementia as well as building confidence to support the needs of people with dementia. An essential evening for clinical practitioners! Bring along your questions and ask about changes you have noticed on a day-to-day basis. 15 Second Update 1 1.
