Clinical Note Taking Webinar

Welcome to the Clinical Note Taking Webinar Series, delivered by Dr Tom Kallis, Pharmacist and Senior Research Fellow at the University of Exeter.

Effective clinical note taking is an essential component of safe, professional, and patient-centred pharmacy practice. Clear and accurate records support continuity of care, facilitate communication between healthcare professionals, and provide an important legal record of clinical decision making.

To support learning and reflection, this webinar has been divided into a series of bite-sized sessions, allowing individuals and pharmacy teams to work through the content at their own pace. Alongside the webinar recordings, you will find a range of supporting documents, resources, and discussion materials designed to reinforce key learning points and encourage team-based conversations.

These materials can be used as part of individual continuing professional development (CPD), team learning sessions, or wider quality improvement activities within your pharmacy. By engaging with the content and accompanying resources, participants will gain practical insights into best practice clinical documentation and develop the confidence to produce clear, meaningful, and effective clinical records.

We hope you find these resources valuable and encourage you to use the discussion prompts and supporting materials to maximise learning outcomes across your pharmacy team.

The supporting documents linked below are intended to be used alongside their corresponding webinar videos. Within these resources, you will find links to external guidance and additional reference materials, answers to questions raised during the webinar, and a case study to work through either individually or with colleagues. These materials are designed to support learning, team discussions, training activities, and Continuing Professional Development (CPD), helping to reinforce the key concepts covered throughout the webinar series.
We have also produced this Wellbeing resource pack to support staff and team wellbeing and external places for help and support.

 

Good clinical note taking is fundamental to delivering safe, effective, and person-centred care. By creating clear, accurate, and timely records, pharmacy professionals can support continuity of care, demonstrate clinical reasoning, and contribute to better outcomes for patients.

We hope this webinar series, together with the accompanying resources and case studies, has provided practical knowledge and confidence to strengthen your clinical documentation skills. We encourage you to use these materials as part of your ongoing professional development, team learning sessions, and reflective practice. By embedding good note-taking habits into everyday practice, pharmacy teams can continue to enhance the quality, safety, and consistency of the care they provide.
