Sore Throat Test and Treat Course (F2F)
As of this morning, we have launched a new Sore Throat Test and Treat Course. This face to face course is designed to give pharmacists the enhanced skills to perform a Sore Throat Test and Treat Service.
The course includes enhanced clinical history taking, anatomy & physiology, physical assessment skills, lymph node palpation, throat swabbing, the use of a Rapid Antigen Test, differential diagnosis, recognition of red flags and the management of paediatrics. On completion of this course, you will be able to confidently undertake a safe consultation with a patient presenting with acute sore throat and guide them to the appropriate treatment.

From 2019 our previous Vaccine course (With Strep A) will now be replaced to include Infant Vaccination technique.
