Before you join
the conversation.
Who is the network for?
UKSPN connects colleagues with an interest in pharmacy and sport. It welcomes pharmacy professionals and colleagues across sports and exercise medicine to connect. Contact the team to discuss how you could contribute.
Do I need to work in elite sport?
The advertised Inside Sports Pharmacy webinar welcomed people already working with athletes as well as those curious about the field. Your current experience can be a useful starting point for a conversation.
How do I get involved?
You can email uksportspharmacynetwork@gmail.com or visit the UKSPN LinkedIn group.
Are these UKSPN courses and clinical resources?
The resources page signposts named external providers. Inclusion does not mean UKSPN owns, delivers, accredits or formally endorses those resources. Check eligibility, fees and current details with each provider.
When is the next event?
Contact the network for upcoming events and booking information. The activity page brings together previous listings and learning opportunities.
Can I ask for individual medicines advice here?
This is a professional networking and learning website, not an individual clinical advice service. Please do not submit patient information. Use current official anti-doping resources and appropriate clinical advice for an individual situation.
