New guides are available this semester, and the three listed below are included with this programme; • Stable Angina • Hyperlipidaemia • NOACs (Novel Oral Anticoagulants) All previous versions have also been recently updated and are available to download from the home page of our website (www.wcppe.org.uk). Streaming Events We are continuing to stream events this semester to provide an option to those of you who may not be able to get out to some of the evening sessions. The following event is available via a ‘live’ link to view from home: • Parkinson’s Disease 5th May 2015 (page 13) You can register for these as you would any other event and we will contact you approximately one week before to provide full instructions and the link to the live stream. We are also piloting the Q&A chat feature so you can ask questions via the Learning Facilitators to convey to the speaker. 2 Full details on how the process works is available on our website. (http://www.wcppe.org. uk/events/Events_from_home). E-learning Programmes Our design and development team have been working hard to produce several new programmes. patients prescribed these medicines and also help healthcare professionals consider the potential adverse effects of their use. The 4 new editions listed below now complete the “ Safe use of .....” series of resources. Safe Use of Completion of these training packages aims to improve the management of • Amiodarone • Antimicrobials • Anticoagulants and • Gentamicin New Evaluation of Events WCPPE is constantly reviewing how we manage our live events to ensure we continue to deliver the best educational experience within limited resources. From April 1st, copies of the main speaker PowerPoint presentation will only be available electronically approximately one week before the event via participants myWCPPE page and once event registration has been completed. Any other learning materials, such as case scenarios, will still be provided as hard copies at the event. This change will allow us to re-allocate resources into other areas of educational design and delivery. We are currently investigating wider opportunities for using technology to enhance your CPD and learning. This will involve a variety of media and techniques, meaning that our events and resources become more accessible than ever. This includes interactive webinars, regular podcasts that can be downloaded and listened to whilst ‘on the go’ and the development of richer interactions and learning opportunities via WCPEE online. New email addresses In order to provide a more efficient service when answering queries, we have recently opened four new email addresses. These email accounts are monitored regularly and you can generally expect a response within 5 working days. If you have a query regarding the Accredited Checking Pharmacy Technicians or Medicines Management programmes, please email [email protected] If your query relates to the Level 2 or 3 NVQ and/or BTEC programmes, please email [email protected].

Accreditation for the Emergency Contraception and the Substance Misuse enhanced services are valid for three years. phone) using a debit or credit card. Once payment is received and you have completed the assessment it will be marked (please allow up to 10 working days for this). The assessment, the “Competency and training framework” for each service, learning material and supporting documents can be found on WCPPEonline at www.wcppe.org.uk. The enhanced services material can be accessed by clicking on the “Pharmacists” button on the Home Page and then by clicking on the relevant enhanced service listed under the “Enhanced Services” column. The distance learning packs are available either through the ‘resources’ link or to download or order online via the red ‘Learning’ tab. Re-accreditation Please check whether your health board is running the service for which you are obtaining accreditation and that there are no restrictions on the number of pharmacies that can provide the service locally. To undertake the assessments you have to be registered for WCPPEonline. The fee will cover up to two attempts for one service assessment. Currently there is only a requirement to re-accredit for the Emergency Contraceptive (EC) and the Substance Misuse enhanced services. From 1st April 2015, the EC enhanced service will be extended to include the supply of Ulipristal. All pharmacists wishing to continue to provide the EC service after the 1st April 2015 will need to have completed a short e-learning module on Ulipristal and an updated re-accreditation assessment by the 31st March 2015. The re-accreditation requirements for other enhanced services are currently under review and full details will be available on the WCPPE website shortly. There is no fee for the re-accreditation assessment. A fee of £25 is payable for the enhanced service assessment process and can be paid online (or over the Service Emergency Contraception Stop Smoking (Level 3) Mandatory Requirement for Initial Accreditation Optional Support Material EC Live Event (page 20) Distance Learning Packs: •Sexual Health: Testing and Treating •Contraception Safeguarding Children and Young Adults Level 2 certificate e-Learning Module: Emergency Contraception Online assessment via WCPPEonline e-Learning Module: Stop Smoking (helping smokers to stop) Online assessment via WCPPEonline Stop Smoking Live Event (page 24) Care Homes Online assessment via WCPPEonline Distance Learning Pack: Supporting Care Homes Substance Misuse Online assessment via WCPPEonline Distance Learning Pack: Substance Use and Misuse Discharge Medicines Review (DMR) None Resources available on website Common Ailment Scheme None Distance Learning Pack: Minor Ailments 3 Events & Learning Programme Spring/Summer 2015 A-Z of Learning Resources ABCD WCPPE provides a wide range of learning resources in a variety of formats to suit different learning styles.

Surveys in the UK and elsewhere indicate that 10-20% of very old patients have heart failure and accounts for 5% of all medical admissions to hospital. Readmission rates are amongst the highest for any common condition and have been estimated to be as high as 50% over 3 months, half of which, it is estimated, may be preventable Effective management of this condition can improve not only quality of life but reduce mortality. Pharmacy teams are well placed to support this group of patients.

Therapeutics Live event Polypharmacy and prescribing in the frail elderly Learning@Lunch (managed sector focus) Overview: Approximately one fifth of the population in Wales is 65 or over and this will continue to rise, with about 86% of this population taking regular prescribed medicines. Polypharmacy is common and often problematic in elderly patients. Implementing the ‘less is more’ theory often makes it possible to stop medicines in elderly patients with no adverse consequences. A patient centred approach, good communication skills, promoting adherence and use of appropriate tools all help contribute to improved patient care. All sessions delivered in conjunction with WCPPE facilitator will require the pharmacy lead for care of the elderly (or equivalent) to be present in order to support discussions and clarify current policy within their respective trusts. Any hospital pharmacy team wishing to run a session in their workplace, please contact Caroline Evans on 029 20876484 / [email protected] to arrange. Learning outcomes: Designed for: After the study event participants will be able to: Pharmacists and pre-registration trainee pharmacists from the managed sector and Health Board Prescribing Advisors. * • Outline pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic changes commonly seen in older people and how physical, mental, behavioural and socioeconomic factors may affect medicine use. • Describe the risks posed to older people by polypharmacy, adverse drug reactions, and adherence issues and understand how to manage the risks. • Understand the role of various means of improving medication use in older people, including STOPP, START tools; AWMSG Polypharmacy: “Guidance for prescribing in frail adults”, for assessing whether medicines have been inappropriately prescribed or omitted. • Recognise medicines that can potentiate falls in the elderly and the advice to give to these patients. * This is event is open to all members of the pharmacy team whose role can influence medicines use, but please note that the content has been developed specifically for the above named participants Speakers: WCCPE facilitators Format: This course will consist of pre-course preparation followed by active discussion of secondary care based case studies in the facilitated session, helping you to learn with your colleagues.
