To deliver the Common Conditions Service, pharmacists must hold certificates of completion from IIOP for each of the following:
- Common Conditions Core Module
- Common Conditions – Condition Specific Modules
These are self-directed fully online modules. You must be logged in to your IIOP account to enrol.
The Common Conditions – Condition Specific Modules groups together the 8 separate condition specific modules: Allergic Rhinitis & Allergic Conjunctivitis, Cold Sores, Acute Infective Conjunctivitis, Impetigo, Oral Thrush, Shingles, Uncomplicated Lower Urinary Tract Infection (Cystitis), and Vulvovaginal Thrush. The Condition Specific Modules should each take between 15-25 minutes to complete. These eight modules and assessments can be completed in any order.
Each of the eight common conditions modules in the CCS programme will contain information on:
- Patient assessment
- Checking the protocols
- Treatment options
- Special considerations
Both certificates must be achieved if you wish to deliver a Common Conditions Service.
