The Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) is proud to announce the launch of RPS Learn, a new online learning platform designed to support the practice, development and career advancement of RPS members.
RPS Learn offers a diverse range of bite-size learning content, available on-demand. It caters to all levels, from introductory to advanced and specialist, combining new content with RPS's renowned expertise in education and training to achieve excellence for learners.
Covering a wide array of clinical topics and professional skills, RPS Learn features over 20 e-learning modules and others will be added regularly. It is free for RPS members who are registered pharmacists, including overseas members and pharmaceutical scientists. The learning modules are aligned with the profession's needs and members are encouraged to suggest new topics for development.
Modules are divided into the following groups:
RPS is committed to an inclusive and accessible approach to learning, allowing members to dip in and out of content, earn certificates, and access learning whenever and wherever suits them. Members will also be able to access development programmes aligned to career stages or milestones; the first to be made available is a programme for new prescribers, which is due in June.
RPS Learn supports members to achieve outcomes within the RPS national professional curricula and frameworks, all of which can be added to their e-Portfolio to record evidence of learning and development throughout their career. Additionally, members will receive regular updates and advice on learning content from RPS.
Associate Director of Education Helen Chang, said:
“RPS Learn represents a significant step forward in empowering pharmacy professionals to enhance their skills, knowledge, and career development.
“Whether you want to master a new skill or improve your understanding of practice or a clinical topic, RPS Learn can help. Our learning content has been created and checked by experts, to ensure you get the most essential and up-to-date information to support you in your role.
