NPA Healthy Living Pharmacy Leadership training

This leadership training is suitable for anyone with management or supervisory responsibilities in a community pharmacy, not only for pharmacy contractors looking to achieve HLP Level 1 status.

The NPA will be holding a Healthy Living Pharmacy (HLP) Leadership training session at the NPA office on Thursday 17 January 2019. The training session will be delivered by Leyla Hannbeck, NPA Director of Pharmacy, and is aimed at pharmacy contractors seeking to achieve HLP Level 1 status, as part of the quality payments scheme.

The HLP leadership training session will cover areas such as:

• Building a great team – leading, motivating, delegating, developing self and others
• Communication
• How to give feedback
• How to manage conflict
• Group work – including examples and action plans

Participants are presented with a certificate at the end of the session, which can be used as evidence to show they have met one of the HLP Level 1 quality criteria.
