Aim of the workshop
The aim of this programme is to support learners in shared decision making with people who are starting, restarting or changing contraception within the NHS Pharmacy Contraception Service (PCS). The learning contains information on how to reach a shared decision on an appropriate formulation of contraception provided with the person using this service.
Scenarios based on those encountered in practice, enable community pharmacy professionals to gain experience in the communication skills that they need to initiate contraception, within a safe learning environment.
