How are you all getting on with your units etc?
Just working through my unit 1 about dispensing meds and products. Have finally finished it bar one K standard.
Its K8 -The principles of patient group directions and their implications.
I know what PGDs are etc but I was just wondering if anyone did this as a pharmacy question. If so could you give me any hinters at a question I could answer, to answer the above.
I know my pharmacist is supposed to set it but shes been busy and it will take weeks to tie her down. I am hoping to get it done today so I can say bye bye unit 1 hello unit 5 ahhhh lol. any help is much appreciated,
Thanks Krisi
Think of situations where a PGD might be used, for example someone needing vaccinations for travel abroad, or a patient presenting at an emergency care centre and just being seen by a nurse. I wouldn't get too bogged down with regard to it being in the pharmacy. Remember your training needs to be broad enough to use in a variety of situations.
If you want to keep it in the pharmacy, then I would be thinking along the lines of generic questions such as what is a PGD and how and when would they be used. Would there be any difference in how you would handle the prescription etc.
Hey Sparkybw - cheers for the advice! Ive just this minute completed it but thanks for the extra ideas -ive included morning after pill, champix etc- managed to find some specific PGDs on my local PCT website.thanks for the advice regards pharmacy etc - you can fall into trap of being too specific. Thanks for the question - great help woohoo to finishing that unit as well lol x
