Teach & Treat Hub

 As NHS Pharmacy First Plus is now a national contracted service, to ensure wider access to relevant  training, NES is working with NHS boards to build increased capacity in both historically established Community Pharmacist Independent Prescribers (CPIPs) and those newly qualified. One of the ways this will be supported is through local board Teach and Treat (T&T) Hubs.

The T&T hub is a place that you can come to for bespoke experiential learning. Its facilitated by NHS National Education for Scotland (NES) and is based in Fife at Cadham Pharmacy, Glenrothes, KY7 6RU.

Potential topics you may want to consider are:                                                   

• Clinical examinations
• ‘Sounding’ of Chests
• Use of Otoscope/Stethoscope etc
• Blood pressure monitoring and recording ‘vitals
• Taking a medical history
• Using clinical SBARs in practice
• Specific common clinical conditions (CCC) e.g Tonsillitis, Sinusitis, Dermatology, Chest infection, Ear/Eye problems, Allergic rhinitis Asthma and COPD exacerbation etc etc.

You can book in a session (4 hours) by setting your own objectives and completing this Pre Attendance Form.

Once you've been please remember and complete the Post Attendance Form which you can also use to submit your claim if eligible (i.e became an IP before 2000). Those that qualified after 2020 will have already received this funding as part of their course and so are not eligible for this.

However ANY qualified CPIP is welcome and encouraged to book a place, even if you are currently providing the CCC service or not.
