Annual Report 2016
Working together
Pharmacy Management
Centre for Pharmacy Postgraduate Education
In May 2016 we embarked on a new partnership with
Pharmacy Management to deliver a Diabetes
Medicines Optimisation learning event in
Manchester.
The event was so successful, attracting over 200
practitioners from all over the UK and in all sectors of
practice, that we ran it again in London later in the
year. We are looking forward to a Respiratory
Medicines Optimisation learning event in February
2017.
During the last quarter of 2016 the UKCPA Diabetes &
Endocrinology Group, in partnership with the Primary
Care Pharmacy Association, developed and delivered
four workshops for the CPPE General Practice
Pharmacist Training Pathway. The UKCPA Cardiology
Group is running six workshops for the same training
pathway during 2017.
Primary Care Pharmacy Association
Clinical Pharmacy Congress
Fourteen UKCPA speakers delivered expert talks at
the Clinical Pharmacy Congress in London in April
2016.
In December 2016 we partnered again with the
Primary Care Pharmacy Association and the Royal
Pharmaceutical Society to deliver a prescribing event
which opened up discussions around the
opportunities for prescribers in community, primary
and secondary care and how to overcome the
barriers to prescribing.
