CPCS for Foundation Trainees

Why is CPCS important for Foundation Trainees?

CPCS is particularly useful for Foundation Trainees. The workshops will help you demonstrate many of the GPhC IET outcomes, especially:

8. Assess and respond to the person’s particular health risks, taking account of individuals’ protected characteristics and background

Working as a lone pharmacist can be daunting - attending the CPCS course will boost your confidence in assessing and responding to health risks presented by patients. 

12. Take an all-inclusive approach to ensure the most appropriate course of action based on clinical, legal and professional considerations

Making the right decision can be tough even for the most experienced pharmacists - the NHS CPCS course will help you be sure that you're taking the most appropriate, all-inclusive approach for patients.

45. Demonstrate effective leadership and management skills as part of the multi-disciplinary team 

You'll hear a lot about effective leadership and management, but translating what this means into professional pharmacy practice isn't easy. Joining the NHS CPCS course will help you demonstrate effective leadership, especially when working with peers, such as GPs.

53. Reflect upon, identify, and proactively address their learning needs 

Completing the CPCS course demonstrates that you can identify, and proactively address your own learning needs - it’s a great session to attend, and delivers lots of CPD content.
