Critical Care Foundation Course: Pharmacists Skills Day

The UKCPA Pharmacists Skills Day is an opportunity to demonstrate and practice clinical decision-making and communication skills through ‘stations’ of simulated clinical exercises focussed on different areas of critical care practice. You will receive formative feedback from our experts.

It is designed for pharmacists starting out in critical care, usually with less than six months experience, or those in need of a refresher of the basics of critical care pharmacy practice. It is ideally suited for pharmacists working in critical care or providing adhoc cover to critically ill patients during times of surge, weekend cover or sickness.

Only 25 places are available to ensure that each participant has meaningful interaction with the experts and with each other.

This event is fully funded by NHS England. All applicants will be asked to declare they are eligible to attend via an online form.  Any applicants not submitting their form by the deadline requested will be removed from the registration list but may be eligible to attend a subsequent event.

Eligibility criteria apply:

• You must be a Pharmacist or Pharmacy Technician working in NHS hospitals in England
• You must have the support of your department (e.g. line manager, Education and Training Lead, or Chief Pharmacist)

AND

• You must be deployed to adult critical care areas as a support activity (e.g. weekends / bank holidays / annual leave or sickness / maternity leave cover)

OR

• You must be deployed to adult critical care areas as part of short to medium early careers rotations.

You will not be eligible for this course if you:

• Have enrolled on the critical care pharmacist pathway or the pharmacy technician pathway.
• Are employed in a setting not delivering NHS care in England
