About FIP CPD Bites
FIP CPD Bites are short, evidence-based learning opportunities designed to support pharmacists' professional development. Delivered in concise formats such as videos, they offer practical knowledge and skills that contribute to an individual's CPD portfolio and enhance everyday practice.
This collection of CPD Bites is designed to help pharmacists and their teams upskill and enhance their knowledge in four key areas:
- Managing common ailments (acute pain, digestive disorders, sore throat)
- Supporting behaviour change

Each bite-sized video provides practical insights and strategies that can be applied directly in pharmacy practice, supporting better patient outcomes and professional growth.
