NPC legacy site
Although no new Medicines and prescribing content will be published to the NPC legacy website, the extensive catalogue of existing publications, resources and e-learning materials will still be available to view and download for as long as the information contained within them remains accurate and up-to-date. All future Medicines and prescribing outputs will be published on the NICE website and signposted from the Medicines and prescribing homepage.
Pharmaceutical public health relates to the day-to-day activities of pharmacists in dealing with a larger group of people (e.g. local area) than opposed to specifically dealing with one individual. Community pharmacy will help to do this by giving out advice and expertise on medicines and signposting particular health messages to the larger public audience.
Find out more information about ‘pharmaceutical public health’ and learn more about the role of pharmacists in pharmaceutical public health, pharmaceutical needs assessments and how important it is plus lots more by using the eLearning materials section and/or the other useful links and resources available on this left-hand side menu.
