Clinical Skills Workshop Overview

This clinical skills workshop has been designed to equip prescribing pharmacists with practical, hands-on training in essential patient assessment and consultation skills. The workshop focuses on developing competence in clinical observations, examination skills, and structured consultation, supporting pharmacists in their expanding clinical roles within community pharmacy and primary care. Delegates will participate in small-group, supervised clinical skills stations and will receive individual feedback and competency sign-off to support their ongoing professional development and safe clinical practice.

Clinical Skills Stations

Delegates will be divided into four groups and will rotate through four supervised clinical skills stations. Each station will provide hands-on training, individual feedback, and competency sign-off from experienced clinicians, including a General Practitioner.

Station 1: Clinical Observations and NEWS2 Assessment

This station will focus on developing competence in performing and interpreting core clinical observations used to assess patient condition and identify deterioration. Delegates will develop practical skills in:

Manual blood pressure measurement
Respiratory rate assessment
Pulse measurement
Oxygen saturation monitoring
Temperature assessment
Calculation and interpretation of NEWS2 score
Recognising clinical deterioration and escalation requirements

Each delegate will be supervised and signed off once competence has been demonstrated.

Station 2: Respiratory Assessment Skills

This station will focus on the structured clinical assessment of patients presenting with respiratory symptoms. Delegates will develop skills in:

Conducting a structured respiratory assessment
Recognising signs of respiratory distress
Identifying clinical red flags
Applying clinical reasoning to support safe management decisions
Understanding when escalation or referral is required

Delegates will receive individual feedback and competency sign-off.

Station 3: Ear, Nose and Throat Examination

This practical station will provide hands-on training in ENT examination techniques. Delegates will develop competence in:

Performing otoscopy and recognising normal and abnormal findings
Examination of the ear canal and tympanic membrane
Throat examination
Identifying common ENT conditions
Recognising red flags requiring referral

Each delegate will be supervised and signed off by clinical faculty.

Station 4: Consultation Skills and Clinical Reasoning

This station will focus on applying clinical skills within structured patient consultations using case-based scenarios. Delegates will develop competence in:

Structured consultation and history taking
Clinical assessment and information gathering
Clinical decision-making and differential diagnosis
Identifying red flags
Providing appropriate safety-netting

Delegates will receive individual feedback and competency sign-off from the supervising clinician.

Clinical Supervision and Competency Sign-Off

All stations will be supervised by experienced clinical faculty, including a General Practitioner. Each delegate will receive:

Direct clinical supervision
Individual feedback
Competency sign-off

This ensures delegates can safely and effectively apply these skills within their clinical roles and supports the continued development of the prescribing workforce.
