Clinical Pharmacist Update summary

Stay confident in your clinical practice – in just one day.

 

Practical, structured training designed to help busy clinical pharmacists quickly understand what’s changed and what it means for patient care and clinical practice.  

 

We break down new evidence, recent guideline changes and key topics into clear, usable insights so you can apply the learning when you need it and keep pace with changes across health services.

 

Engaging, varied learning helps information stick, giving you a reliable way to refresh knowledge, reduce uncertainty and keep pace with clinical change. More than CPD, it offers a chance to feel professionally rejuvenated, restoring confidence and enthusiasm for day-to-day clinical practice, with access to trusted CPD resources throughout the year. 

A small splash of the topics we cover

  • Type 2 diabetes: concepts, management for specific groups and more – we have the new NICE guidance covered
  • Obesity wraparound lifestyle support: covering the key factors that sit alongside pharmacological management
  • Chronic heart failure: we cover the NEW NICE guidance, highlighting practice-changing updates to management
  • UKMEC: we discuss the contraceptive eligibility updates
  • Wheeze in preschool children… or asthma? Join us to find out more
  • Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy: hear about updated RCOG guidance on investigation and management in primary care
  • And lots more key clinical updates - we typically cover 20-30 topics per full-day course!

Who is this course for?

This course is for all clinical pharmacists working across general practice, primary care and community pharmacy settings who want a concise, trusted update to support safe, current patient care.  

 

The Clinical Pharmacist Update is an adapted version of our GP Update course specifically for clinical pharmacists.

 

It might be less suitable for experienced prescribing pharmacists who have worked in primary care for some years and who may prefer the GP Update course.
