Alphega Pharmacy Uk Launches E-Learning Training

Alphega Pharmacy UK, in association with Novartis Consumer Health, has launched its first e-learning training module for UK members and their pharmacy teams, to support today’s No Smoking Day (Wednesday 10 March).

The e-learning consists of 3 sections, covering key areas of information. These are:

• Section A: Did you know?
• Section B: Disease and treatments
• Section C: Case studies

During and at the end of each section, there are questions for pharmacy teams to check their knowledge.

The training takes approximately 60 minutes for each team member to complete. The module is designed to fit in with the pharmacy team’s schedule and they can either complete the training in one session or carry it out in bite size chunks, returning to the module whenever they have time.

The e-learning module can be accessed through the members’ section of the Alphega Pharmacy website (www.alphega-pharmacy.co.uk) either at home or in the workplace.

Clare Clark, Learning and Development Consultant, Alphega Pharmacy UK, commented: “This is a great example of how partnerships between manufacturers and Alphega Pharmacy can support the provision of added value services and provide new initiatives for team development in independent pharmacy. The content is thorough, well presented with an engaging design that will make learning more appealing to pharmacy teams”.
