Community Pharmacy Provider Board (CPPB) have purchased the Virtual Outcomes Licence on behalf of all Greater Manchester contractors for a further year. This means that all GM pharmacies have free access to this extensive online library of training resources.
Access to VirtualOutcomes would normally cost £12 per month per pharmacy, so this equates to a saving of £144 per year for each contractor.
We strongly encourage all pharmacies to log in and see what is available.
