2-Hour GPhC Exam OTC Masterclass
This 2-hour GPhC Exam OTC Masterclass is designed to help you approach over-the-counter consultations in a structured, exam-focused way with practical techniques you can apply immediately in GPhC exam questions.
Throughout the session, we’ll work through high-yield OTC topics, exploring how to move from patient presentation → information gathering → identification of red flags → treatment selection → counselling → referral decisions.
During the session we’ll cover:
✅ A structured framework for answering OTC scenarios
✅ Common OTC presentations likely to appear in the GPhC assessment
✅ Recognising red flags
✅ Medicine selection and treatment recommendations
✅ Counselling points the GPhC expects you to know
✅ Exam technique
Included in the session:
Brand new exam-focused teaching content
Multiple GPhC-style OTC scenarios worked through live
Opportunities to ask questions throughout
Practical tips from a pharmacist educator experienced in community pharmacy

This session is ideal for:
• Trainee pharmacists preparing for the June or future GPhC registration assessment
• Those struggling with OTC consultations or self-care scenarios
• Candidates wanting greater confidence in identifying red flags and referrals
• Trainees looking for practical, high-yield revision rather than passive learning
Whether OTC questions are currently a strength or a weakness, this session aims to help you answer them more safely, more confidently and more efficiently under exam pressure.
