#PSNCtalk videos

In August 2017, PSNC and pharmacyTALK began working together to produce a series of videos to help those who work in community pharmacy by sharing guidance and offering advice, as well as making pharmacy staff aware of the vast range of PSNC resources available and where to find them. A new video will appear here each month and will also be available from the pharmacyTALK website (you can register for the pharmacyTALK forum here).
