Clinical Rx® training is delivered in line with CQC requirements for pharmacy professionals.
The Big Move from Community to General Practice
The expression, “Small Fish in a Big Pond” can often come to mind when transitioning into General Practice. At Clinical Rx® we recognise this daunting step and for this we have dedicated, skilled and experienced senior clinical pharmacists available 24/7 to support our network. We believe that a valued and supported team will ultimately produce the best quality work. Therefore, regular, and individualised supervision is one of our top priorities.
Clinical Rx® : Connecting Pharmacists
Pharmacists often work alone, having to think as an individual and remote conditions can contribute to feeling isolated. The UK Chief Pharmaceutical Officers noted the importance of Pharmacists feeling supported at work, as this contributes to overall well-being, satisfaction, and retention. Other organisations are likely to have an initial induction training process, however, at Clinical Rx®, we believe in ongoing, tailored training with constant senior supervision. This is so that Pharmacists can connect, grow and mature in their roles to eventually become senior Pharmacists, who can mentor and supervise others.
Supervision of Pharmacists can often be time-consuming, especially during a busy day. However, because supervision and training of Pharmacists is one of our core beliefs and values – it plays a major role in the workday. The supervision provided at Clinical Rx® is congruent with the NHS PCN DES contract which outlines the importance of monthly clinical supervision sessions, including peer support for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. Alongside, a dedicated supervisor, we also encourage monthly team meetings to allow junior pharmacists to collaborate with senior pharmacists and bring any area of concern or clinical or technical query to discuss together as a group.
We at Clinical Rx® make supervision, training, communication, and feedback accessible through an instant messaging group and regular teams’ meetings. The group provides a forum for pharmacists to connect with each other, share ideas, and ask questions freely. This platform not only makes it easier for senior pharmacists to liaise with junior pharmacists, but it also enables a sense of community as it is well known that remote working can sometimes shroud that prospect of feeling like a team.
We believe that our comprehensive support program including this calibre of supervision and training, can help pharmacists make a smooth and successful transition into general practice.
Clinical Rx® : The Team Going Beyond Traditional Clinical Supervision Training
At Clinical Rx®, we don't just answer queries. We build confidence and critical thinking skills.
Our clinical supervision process goes beyond simply providing answers. We work with junior pharmacists to explore all possible options and think through each query critically. This helps them develop the skills they need to make sound decisions on their own, ultimately leading to better patient care.
As a result of our clinical supervision process, junior pharmacists at Clinical Rx® develop the confidence and critical thinking skills they need to be successful in their careers. They are better equipped to make sound decisions, provide excellent patient care, and advance their knowledge and skills.
