MEP and our most popular Pharmacy Guides now available for whole profession

Inspired by the way pharmacists are supporting each other during this global emergency we have made the MEP and our pharmacy guides available and accessible to everyone during the COVID-19 pandemic.

We know that pharmacy teams on the front line need additional support from fellow pharmacists. We've heard your call to do everything we can to make sure every pharmacist who needs it has access to up to date guidance. We want to do more to support those returning to the front line from retirement or from non-patient facing roles.

Medicine, Ethics and Practice (MEP). Is your go-to guide for good practice – offering every day, practical tools and guidance. We want all pharmacy teams to feel confident and the MEP is there to help you make the right decisions.

These invaluable RPS Pharmacy Guides cover areas such as; Professional Judgement, Community Pharmacy Practice, Hospital Pharmacy Practice, Emergency Supply Mythbuster and a Return to Practice checklist.
