Welcome to the IPU Academy Autumn Webinar Programme

Welcome to the IPU Academy Autumn Webinar Programme 2020. Thanks to your enthusiastic participation and despite the curtailment imposed by COVID-19, (16 courses in 13 venues were cancelled) over 1,000 attendances were recorded in the Spring Programme. IPU Academy also broadcast three live national COVID-19 webinars; 395 members participated in this live national webinar series. Owing to COVID-19, the decision has been made to provide the IPU Academy Autumn Programme 2020 via webinar rather than as the usual live learning programme.

All five topics in the IPU Academy Autumn Webinar Programme were selected based on your feedback and each topic will be broadcast as a live webinar on two dates this autumn. The topics are current and have been designed to assist you in developing and delivering services to your patients in your pharmacy.

The topics in the Autumn Programme were originally developed for delivery as a two-hour live course. We have worked with the topic developer to take a “blended approach” to allow the delivery of the topic via webinar in a shorter time frame. Additional resources such as case studies are available in the Blended Learning Resources section on the webinar pages.

All webinars will start at 7.30pm sharp. Including a question and answer session, we aim to finish by 9.00pm. 

IPU Academy is here to support your engagement with the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) system. The fifth and final cohort have been selected by the PSI for the 2020/2021 ePortfolio review this year.

Feedback and suggestions for future topics to be developed by IPU Academy are welcome at ipuacademy@ipu.ie.
