The Medicines Learning Portal is designed for pharmacists in their first 1000 days of practice,
although the content may be of interest to the wider pharmacy community.
The site aims to support pharmacists in developing their clinical problem solving skills by:
- Providing knowledge about medicines, and addressing basic principles of medicines safety for key subject areas.
- Showing the right questions to ask when problem-solving.
- Recommending sources of information about medicines.
- Guiding pharmacists on how to apply their professional judgement.
- Advising on communication techniques for delivering expert advice.
The site is divided up into a number of areas including:
- Clinical tutorials which covers subjects such as adverse reactions and interactions
- Specialist clinical topics including mental health and palliative care
- Professional skills which looks at topics such as calculations, communication and decision making
- An on-call section to help prepare foundation level hospital pharmacists to undertake an on-call role.
The site is produced by University Hospitals Southampton in partnership with Health Education England and Thames Valley and Wessex Chief Pharmacists' Network, It is also endorsed by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society.
