From The Daily Sceptic<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By\u00a0Will Jones<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pharmacists in Wales are being expected to undergo training in climate change and \u2018carbon literacy\u2019 under the Welsh Government\u2019s Net Zero requirements, despite having too little time to complete existing training demands. The Mail <\/em>has more<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Pharmacists might seem busy enough doling out medications and getting to grips with the latest new treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But they are now being expected to complete training in climate change and carbon literacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It comes as a body representing pharmacists say they already have too little time to complete existing training requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Training on the extra, woke topics have been introduced in Wales, as part of a \u201cquality and safety scheme\u201d in line with the Welsh Government\u2019s Net Zero Wales ambitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And chemists are expected to ensure the training is carried out by the end of next month to meet a target set by the Cardiff administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Community Pharmacy Wales has issued guidance to pharmacists, urging them to \u201cprovide an overview of climate change and sustainability in Wales\/the UK and the world\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They must also \u201cevaluate the impact of climate change on health\u201d and \u201cexplore good practice in sustainability as a global citizen\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Community Pharmacies Wales added: \u201cPharmacy contractors can arrange for staff to access any training resource that at a minimum meets the learning objectives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pharmacies can claim \u00a3642 from the cash-strapped Welsh NHS to cover the cost of the course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the course modules listed is Carbon Literacy for Healthcare, which aims to foster a \u201cdeep understanding of the critical link between climate change and healthcare\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The course description states: \u201cDiscover how climate change is putting the health of our patients at risk and explore the remarkable strides the NHS has made in leading the charge against greenhouse gas emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLearn how you can contribute and play your part in shaping a low carbon NHS that delivers exceptional care while safeguarding the health of future generations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Welsh Government\u2019s push for green policy comes as a lobby group representing pharmacists across the UK called for staff to be given more time for training to be \u201csafe practitioners\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week, the Guild of Healthcare Pharmacists (GHP) launched a campaign calling for NHS pharmacists to be given 10% of their contracted hours as \u201cprotected time for learning, development and training\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The guild said there is currently \u201cno consistency\u201d in the UK or within the four nations in terms of how much time for supporting professional activities pharmacists are given. \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It added that many pharmacists end up doing unpaid work in order to catch up with the required training or end up completing self-learning in their own time.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
