To meet the growing demands and challenges of community pharmacies and general practice, PMA offers series of specialised clinical workshops aimed at enhancing the skills of pharmacy and general practices staff – to enable them to expand their service capabilities with confidence.
These workshops cover critical areas such as phlebotomy, blood pressure management, 12-lead ECGs, blood glucose monitoring and diabetes awareness, and more – aligning with national goals like conducting 200,000 cardiovascular screenings in pharmacies.
Our workshops are designed to be flexible, with options for individual or customised packages to fit specific pharmacy or practice needs. PMA is dedicated to empowering pharmacies and community healthcare providers, to increase profitability and ensure a more sustainable future for community healthcare.
The workshops provide delegates with access to virtual training, which can be delivered in a convenient time window to meet your specific needs. These workshops can also be delivered face to face, if required.
If you want more information on the PMA Clinical Workshops or are interested in PMA developing a bespoke session or programme, please get in touch.

Inclusive and Accessible
PMA is committed to inclusiveness and accessibility. The learner and practice staff-centred sessions will seek to embrace the principle of inclusive learning. These sessions will be delivered in cohorts. Whether face-to-face or virtual, we will engender a learning environment where we all agree to the principles of:
- Togetherness – and as this is an opt-in opportunity to be included in the programme, we’ll agree on openness and the need and desire to change.
- Equality, where we are all equal – we can’t change the past but we can change the future.
- Participation and engagement – where all voices will be heard.
- Respect and acceptance.
- Acceptance and agreement of the rules of the room and the rules of engagement.
- Embracing individual differences.
- Embracing the Principle of Change.
Building confidence and affirming their identity as valued team members will support their learning and their engagement with the changes needed.
