The Centre for Pharmacy Post Graduate Education (CPPE) is offering an e-learning programme for pharmacists in treating people suffering from autism and ADHD.
The CPPE course explores the lived experiences of autistic people and people with ADHD, and helps pharmacists adapt their consultation style and approach.
The e-learning programme will equip the pharmacists to provide person-centred care to patients.
The course also looks at how pharmacy professionals can support people and carers to get the best out of healthcare services and the wider pharmacy offer.
It also highlights the importance of CORE20PLUS5, reminding us that all autistic people are included in national efforts to reduce health inequalities.
The attendees will be encouraged to reflect on how pharmacy can better link across sectors - hospital, general practice, community and specialist services - to create more joined-up care.
Those taking up this programme can complete it at a flexible pace, and provide skills to be inclusive while treating people living with autism and ADHD.
The learning module will help pharmacists gain practical strategies to make their everyday consultations more accessible and impactful.
