  1. Consultation skills for pharmacy practice • Where did it start ? • Why’s it important ? @CSfPP Educational solutions for the NHS pharmacy workforce

  2. Consultation skills for pharmacy practice • Cross organisation project • Wide range of skill set throughout the profession • Phase 1 launched 18th March 2014

  3. Why, context and policy The future is ‘patient facing’ The focus is on patient centred care Policy: Part of the care pathway, accountable, decision making and accepts follow up Many pharmacy professionals haven't been trained at any stage of their career development

  4. What is a consultation? ‘A meeting to discuss something or get advice with the goal of discovering the best course of action to take’ Medicines reconciliation/medicines optimisation Handing out discharge medicines/prescriptions OTC requests Public health discussions (weight management, smoking cessation) Every time you speak with a patient you have the opportunity to make a difference

  5. Some perceptions….. I’m naturally good at this, I talk to patients every day This isn’t something I can learn, the patient has to live with my personality Once I’ve been trained, that’s it. I can’t get any better…I am what I am! A ‘good’ consultation is about being nice, professional, structured and making sure the patient knows what to do & more educated at the end OTC encounters are not consultations My team and colleagues performance is up to them, I’ll help if I can

  6. Achieving the patient-centred approach

  7. Much more than six steps: a range of learning, tools, resources and signposting Online learning, forms, videos, hints and tips, employers information, trainers support, social media This will evolve and be added too

Four sections: • Multiple choice questions • Identify the key skills demonstrated • Rate the practice demonstrated • Identify the key skills demonstrated and rate those present
