Our vision is to bring together resources and expertise that will help UK pharmacists at the beginning of their careers to tackle the clinical problems that will confront them throughout their professional lives. At the moment this site is aimed at hospital pharmacists.All pharmacists involved with patient care need clinical problem solving skills to deliver medicines optimisation, and on this website we will assist the development of these skills by:
- Providing knowledge about medicines, and addressing basic principles of medicines safety for key subject areas.
- Showing the right questions to ask when problem-solving.
- Recommending sources of information about medicines.
- Guiding pharmacists on how to apply their professional judgement.
- Advising on communication techniques for delivering expert advice.

Site Limitations
The contents of this site can be used freely by NHS staff to train themselves or other NHS staff. We consider community pharmacists and staff working in GP surgeries to be included within this definition. We do try and ensure that the content of this website remains up-to-date and accurate, but individual healthcare professionals are themselves responsible for ensuring that their learning and practice reflects the current state of knowledge and the expected practice within their own organisations. Clinical professionals are also responsible for applying what they've learned to the individual demands of patients under their care, and we can't take account of every possible clinical scenario when preparing these learning materials. We link to external websites that we believe are helpful, but are not responsible for the content of these websites.
None of our materials can be copied, or used for commercial purposes, without our permission - please contact us if you are considering this.
