This is a regular networking meeting, run by active GP Pharmacists for GP Pharmacists and Pharmacy Technicians. This forum is supported by the ICA Directors and Kernow Health CIC and is an opportunity for you to network with your GP pharmacy counterparts, to share good practice, to support your CPPE pathway, to provide CPD and to learn!
Our Forum runs quarterly with locally and nationally recognised speakers, to run through current issues, initiatives and projects, to help you to work more effectively and efficiently in practice. This is your forum you decide what support and learning you need; we will do our best to facilitate this.
Agenda
This event will focus on how general practice in structured and funded, as well as getting expert opinions on hard-to-solve practice issues.

Our expert panel session will be discussing difficult scenarios in general practice for pharmacists and technicians, and how to navigate them. To feed into this session, we need to hear from YOU about what your tricky practice scenarios or hot topics in practice are. This might be something like shared care agreements, dealing with private specialist letters or something tricky you come up against which doesn’t appear to have an easy solution.
