In This Issue: Is now a good time to QUIT?
The Professional Relations Committee is pleased to announce that MSP and CPhA have partnered to deliver another live QUIT smoking cessation workshop to Manitoba Pharmacists. Our goal is to increase access to training and to provide tools that will encourage pharmacists to reduce barriers to success.
The Lung Association estimates that only 37% of smokers in Manitoba receive advice from a physician or another health care professional in respect to smoking cessation strategies, compared to nearly 60% in other parts of Canada. Manitoba Pharmacists are invited to participate in the live QUIT training which will enhance their ability to screen patients in regards to tobacco use and to provide support when their patients are ready to QUIT.
The workshop will take place on Saturday, March 5, 2011
Location:
Winnipeg Winter Club – Tennis Gallery
200 River Avenue, Winnipeg, MB
9:00am to 4:00pm (Lunch & Refreshments will be provided) |
This 6-CEU live workshop is organized into five separate modules, each focusing on different aspects of smoking cessation:
Module 1: Why they should quit and how you should help them
Module 2: Addiction and its implications
Module 3: Pharmacotherapy and behaviour. Your client is ready; are you?
Module 4: Counselling process. Putting it all together!
Module 5: Creating your smoking cessation program
