Training Resources

Our Services and Engagement Lead Officer has put together a resource pack detailing best practice tips shared by contractors on Service visits within the last year. These visits have provided invaluable insights into how different teams are excelling in the delivery of key services. To disseminate these great ideas, we have collated a selection of the most impactful best practice tips. We hope you find them inspiring and easy to implement within your own pharmacy.
