CCG pharmacy and GP practice teams: two great learning and training opportunities!

We have two great, FREE, training opportunities for pharmacy teams in CCGs, and GP practice teams to help with their medicines optimisation work.

All sessions will be held at Chilworth Manor Hotel, Chilworth, Hampshire, SO16 7PT.

 PRIMIS action learning sets

 First of all, we are offering PRIMIS action learning sets. PRIMIS offers a suite of Clinical Audit tools to improve patient care. Action learning is an approach where people working in small groups, tackle an issue and learn together from their attempts to change things.

These will take place across three half-day sessions over one month - you need to come to all three sessions and be prepared to run an audit and share learning:

• Session 1: How to run the PRIMIS Audits: Wednesday, 13 April 2016
  
• Session 2: Review your chosen audit results and develop action plans: Tuesday, 26 April 2016
  
• Session 3: Review progress, learning and change management: Thursday, 19th May 2016
  

All sessions start at 9am and run until 12 midday (followed by lunch).

Our second opportunity is PINCER Audit Tool Training. Preventable medication-related hospital admissions account for around 1 in 25 hospital admissions. Common causes are: Prescribing problems: 31%, Adherence problems: 33%, Medication monitoring problems: 22%. Four classes of drug account for over 50% of these  admissions.Time: 1:30pm

PINCER is a Pharmacist-led intervention to identify, correct and prevent potentially hazardous prescribing. We are offering training from the University of Nottingham PRIMIS team in the use of the PINCER Audit Tool, to CCG and GP Practice teams in Wessex.

We have three dates available:
