Pharmacy in Schools Programme
The Pharmacy in Schools programme raises awareness of self-care and community pharmacy services for common childhood ailments such as common colds, diarrhoea, hay fever, head lice and sore throats.
Using a health literacy approach and considering the importance of medication safety the lessons enable children to understand health professionals and health services, the role of a pharmacist, common childhood ailments, and how we can access and understand health information. Co-produced with a range of organisations across pharmacy, education, health, community and voluntary sectors and academia the programme includes lesson plans and resources to support delivery of Personal Development and Mutual Understanding area of learning of the Northern Ireland Curriculum.
With staff having been trained in the delivery of this programme, during the week commencing Monday 4th March we had a focus on the delivery of this programme to all classes throughout the school.
