*** NEW  ***   Community Pharmacy Sector        PDF Format

Allied Healthcare Skillnet, promoted by the IPU, has been set up to design, develop and deliver learning events and programmes relevant to the community pharmacy sector, with a particular emphasis on Leadership/Management and specialist clinical skills. The Autumn 2010 event programme has four themes:

1.  Managing a Health Screening Service – A Modular approach from

Ø  In response to the HSE’s recently established Quality and Clinical Directorate, UCC School of Pharmacy, is offering this academic year, four 5 credit Modules in asthma, diabetes, mental health and coagulation.  These can be, over a period of time, accumulated towards either a Certificate (30 credits) Diploma (60 credits) or Masters (90 credits) qualification in Chronic Disease Therapy and Medicines Management.

Ø  These modules will be conducted through teleconferences, assignments and practice log books

Ø  Modules can be completed at your own pace through distance learning

Ø  Each Module normally costs €500, but through AHS will cost €250

2. Pharmacy Practice Refresher Courses

Ø  Pharmacists returning to work/locums/ health professionals dealing with HSE will particularly benefit from this event day which addresses two major issues in the pharmacy:

o    Develop your expertise with the major dispensing systems

o    Develop your expertise in dealing with the HSE- optimise your claims efficiency, manage your cash flow, manage your costs

Ø  Experts on the various dispensing systems and on handling interactions and claims with HSE and local area offices will deliver this new course- see dates below

3. Health Screening Services in Community Pharmacy

Ø  Cicely Roche MPSI will deliver her popular Health Screening in Community Pharmacy event days

Ø  Particularly for those who want to start a Health Screening Service, but also for those who are already doing so, this event day offers a wealth of information, but also allow participants to practice the service- see dates below

4. Community Pharmacy and Nursing Home Services

Ø  Professor Carmel Hughes, Queens University Belfast, is a recognised authority on community Pharmacy nursing home services. In this event day, Professor Hughes will draw on her research findings to raise awareness of the critical care issues as pertain between the Nursing home and the Pharmacy. A must for anyone with pharmacy with a Nursing Home contract!
