Developments in education and training
As discussed in
Chapter 17, the development of clinical pharmacy was underpinned by education
and training. In 1982 the UK Clinical Pharmacy Association (UKCPA) was formed
as a broad umbrella for all clinical areas of pharmacy. This has provided an
opportunity for pharmacists to share best clinical practice through conference
workshops and case study discussions, as well as through clinical networks
where ideas and strategic developments are shared. Some specialists formed
their own groups, such as oncology, paediatric and mental health pharmacist,
and became faculties of the College of Pharmacy Practice, developing their
specialisms through individual study days, conferences and postgraduate courses.
