CPPE has also launched several new programmes and a workshop recently that may be of interest to pharmacy professionals working in community pharmacy.

Depression: having meaningful conversations - focal point : CPPE
This online 1 hour 45 minute workshop has been designed to support pharmacy professionals to start and have conversations with a person about Depression.

The workshop activities include discussions with peers on the approaches that could be used in a number of scenarios. As treatments for depression are due to be added to the NMS service in October 2025, this workshop will support pharmacy professionals to enhance this aspect of their communication skills.
