HLP Champion Training

LLR are now providing ONE funded place per Contractor to support HLP Champion accreditation

. HLP Healthy Living Champion Training update . Please note that the national guidance states that (1 Full time equivalent) HLP champion will need to complete the training.

If you have part time staff – you will be required to train more than 1 member of staff in your pharmacy to ensure you cover the requirement.

You may have 2 or 3 part time staff to ensure you meet the full time equivalent requirement.

The LPC can only fund ONE place per pharmacy so the remaining staff will need to be self-funded. I will make arrangements for the price to be the same as the LPC price should you wish to book further places. I will send further information in due course.

This must be completed by a member of the Pharmacy Team.

The HLP leadership training will normally be undertaken by the Pharmacist.

HLP Champion Training RSPH guidance  : At least one member of pharmacy staff (1 Full Time Equivalent) has completed the training and assessment of the Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH) Level 2 Award in Understanding Health Improvement and is therefore a Health Champion.

This will be supported by Pharmacy Complete

On booking the elected member of your team will receive a training pack and mock exam which will take approximately 8 hours to complete

as Health Education Funding are supporting us – it is expected that you will complete this training in 8 weeks and complete an exam which you will undertake under the supervision of your Pharmacist.
