If you are struggling with confidence in conducting and documenting consultations around weight management medicines supply? This is an event to support you. This workshop takes you through a safe prescribing approach to consultations that is valuable regardless of whether you are currently an independent prescriber or able to supply medicines under a Patient Group Direction (PGD).
Designed to support the development of both pharmacists and pharmacy technicians, the workshop is structured around key clinical and consultation frameworks commonly used in independent prescribing courses, helping you to deliver safe, effective and holistic person-centred care across a range of pharmacy settings.
After completing all aspects of this workshop, participants should be able to:
- Identify strengths and transferable skills for consulting with people on weight management medicines
- Identify resources and learning to meet development needs to safely provide medicines for weight management
- Develop structured approach to consultations and person-centred care when assessing a person for weight management medicines
- Evaluate clinical record documentation to ensure it is accurate, legible and timely
- Build peer networks to support ongoing professional development
- Create an action plan for ongoing peer discussion and debrief sessions to reflect on own and others’ practice.
