This training is aimed at making it easy for pharmacists to provide both information to customers about pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and referrals on to sexual health services to access PrEP.

These services are an add-on to any sexual health work your pharmacy is already engaged in.

The training will take you through a number of areas to increase your knowledge of PrEP and also to support your work with your customers around this new tool in HIV prevention.
