This is the 8th in Pharmacy Magazine’s 2026 series of CPD activities. Every month we publish four articles each accompanied by a short online quiz for which you can receive a certificate of completion provided you achieve 80% or more. You can use these to help compile your annual CPD activities. Let us know if there are any topics you’d like us to focus on.
