Practice Development Day (PDD)
The PDD consists of a series of tutorials and workshops which provide the theoretical aspects of the relevant medicines optimisation activities. The day provides the opportunity for learners to network and share best practice and ask any questions that they have about their training and progress through the programme.
An integral part of the day involves trainees sharing their medicines optimisation experience and practices. Therefore, we advise attending a PDD during the learners’ practical skills evidence collection once they have some exposure to a patient facing role and can contribute to get the most out of the day.
