Neurology floor added to learning pharmacy

CPPE has added a new floor on neurology to its online learning resource theLearningpharmacy.com

 

TheLearningpharmacy.com offers bite-sized learning activities to help the pharmacy team develop together to deliver better outcomes for patients.

There are a number of floors (topics), which contain learning challenges aimed at all members of the pharmacy team: pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, pre-registration trainee pharmacists and medicines counter assistants. Pharmacists can work individually or with other members of their team to meet these challenges.

The latest floor focuses on neurology. Neurology is a broad term encompassing many different diseases but CPPE has developed challenges that concentrate on epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis, looking in particular at how community pharmacy teams can best support the patients in their communities. What would you do? Would you know what to do if a person with epilepsy has a seizure?

The pharmacy could be the first port of call if a patient near (or in) your pharmacy has a seizure, so one of the challenges on the neurology floor involves learning about the best first aid to provide in this situation.

Community pharmacy teams see patients regularly, for example, when they collect their repeat medicines, so team members may be the first to notice disease progression in a patient. To help in this there is an activity that challenges you to find out about the signs and symptoms you may notice that would suggest deterioration in a patient’s condition and what you can do to support these people.

Other challenges focus on supporting patients with their medicines and signposting them to resources that will enable them to promote their own self-care. You can access theLearningpharmacy.com on a computer or tablet device. Note that there is no need to register or log in to access the learning challenges.
