The Community Chapter is pleased to share with you that on 8th Oct 2016, PSS successfully launched the Practice Guide for Minor Ailments (PGMA) on PSS website!

The Practice Guide was developed with the aim of keeping pharmacists’ knowledge up to date, and also standardising practice across all institutions in Singapore.

Now on a convenient e-learning platform, all pharmacists can easily access the guide through the PSS website.

(https://www.pss.org.sg/store/online-cpe/pss-practice-guide-minor-ailments-pss-pgma)

For a small fee (FREE for PSS Members), participants will get the following for each module:

• 1 Pre Test
• 1 set of Guidelines
• 1 Patient Information Leaflet (which can be printed for patients)
• 1 Post Test

Upon successful completion and passing of the Post Test (80% required), the participant will receive a “Certificate of Completion” and is entitled to 2 CPE points per module under Category 3A.

Currently 4 Practice Guides are available for purchase:

1)   Principles of Self Care

2)   GERD

3)   Hair Loss

4)   Skin Condition Part 1

…with MORE to come in the next few months!

The set of guidelines was developed and completed after hundreds of volunteer hours and a grueling 5-stage process!

A big “THANK YOU” to all the contributors for the dedication, time and efforts invested in this project!
