Focus on Cold & Flu - The Royal Pharmaceutical Society working in partnership with GSK
Advice for cold & flu symptoms is a common reason to visit the pharmacy, particularly when the winter season approaches. The pharmacy teams play an important role, not just in helping patients to manage symptoms with OTC treatments, but also with spreading the message that antibiotics do not treat colds & flu.
This website is designed to share the editorially independent articles and learning materials created by The Royal Pharmaceutical Society supported by a partnership with GSK. The links below allow you to directly access this content specifically developed for pharmacists to help their teams deliver a consistent level of care, putting self-care and antimicrobial stewardship at the centre of cold & flu consultations for the benefit of patients.
