Alphega Pharmacy Invests in New Learning Management Platform

Pharmacy is a dynamic and evolving field that requires lifelong learning and improvement. New drugs and treatments are constantly being developed, and regulatory changes are coming. Pharmacists often have to meet regulatory requirements for continuing education in order to maintain their license, remain compliant with legal regulations, and be able to provide their patients with first-class care, including qualified advice. PharmDr. Tomáš Lukš, Alphega Country Manager, added: "Education increases safety, because well-informed pharmacists can better identify drug interactions, allergies, and other potential risks. In addition, through self-education, a pharmacist also contributes to his own personal and professional growth, which can expand his career opportunities and increase professional satisfaction."

Alphega Academy, located at http://Akademie.alphega.cz , provides educational resources and training to its 330+ member pharmacies in the Czech Republic with the aim of supporting their professional development. "Alphega pharmacists and pharmaceutical assistants will certainly like the user-friendly interface that allows easy access to content and supports flexible forms of learning, including mobile access. Advanced analytical tools and reporting options are important for us, which help monitor the progress of students and the effectiveness of educational programs. The academy offers various e-learning courses. There are courses that prepare pharmacists to provide screening services, such as measuring vascular and pulmonary age, measuring dry eye syndrome. Lectures from abroad that advise on pricing, promotion and category management are useful. Of course, there are also courses accredited by the Czech Chamber of Pharmacists, which are rated with credit points, and product presentations from manufacturing companies," explains Helena Víchová, a specialist for services and education, and in conclusion, she shares her plans for the future: "We are already preparing other accredited lectures and webinars. In the future, we are considering cybersecurity training focused on pharmacy staff."
