Bespoke Foundation Year Training Support

If you are a Foundation Year Pharmacist and need one-to-one support and training then we are here to help!

Drawing on the extensive experience held by our Lead Tutor, Dr Davies, we can support you with examination preparation and evidence submission.

We have a bank of GPhC questions at our disposal and the know-how as to where to find the answers in relevant reference texts (i.e. the BNF).

Here is an example of how we can help…

1. Which ONE of the following has the least impact on an individual’s insulin requirements?

   a) Asthma

   b) Food pattern changes

   c) Pregnancy

   d) Physical activity intensity

   e) Severe infection

The answer is a) Asthma.

The relevant section of the BNF is ‘Type 1 Diabetes’ —> ‘Insulin Requirements’ which states:

“Infection, stress, accidental or surgical trauma can all increase the required insulin dose. Insulin requirements may be decreased (and therefore susceptibility to hypoglycaemia increased) by physical activity, intercurrent illness, reduced food intake, impaired renal function, and in certain endocrine disorders”. Pregnancy, of course, will influence insulin requirements with time.

If the Foundation Year, and all of the material contained within, feels overwhelming then why not book with Dr Davies today? Here, at www.pharmascholar.co.uk we know all of the standard questions posed by the GPhC and importantly how to handle them!
