United Drug Webinar Series returns with insightful talk on HPV Vaccination and the role of the Pharmacist
As part of our added value Knowledge Hub and CPD learning programme, we recently hosted an informative webinar on the topic of HPV Vaccination. The webinar specifically focussed on the role of the pharmacist in the vaccination process, leading to a reduction in Cervical Cancer.
Some key points covered on the night were:
- The role of the pharmacist in the vaccination process
- Understanding the scheduling and dosage of vaccination in various cohorts
- Increasing the uptake of HPV Vaccination and how the pharmacist can assist with this
- Scope of the vaccine going onto Schedule 8 and how the pharmacist will play a role in this.
Hosted by Clinical Governance Pharmacist at LloydsPharmacy Ireland Martin Hynes, the webinar was designed as a Q&A for Pharmacists to have readily available access to an expert speaker on HPV Vaccination.
Sinéad Cleary, Advanced Nurse Practitioner and Colposcopy Nurse in Tallaght University Hospital began the webinar with an educational and informative overview of HPV, the progression to Cervical Cancer and the importance of HPV Vaccination and screening in the eradication of Cervical Cancer.
All United Drug webinars are held with the patient in mind and aim to equip the Pharmacist to better assist in the community.
