E-drug: Training Pharmacist's Assistants/Technicians  
---------------------------------------------

Dear e-druggers,  
Does anybody have any experience on the training of Pharmacy  
Assistants whilst they are already in employment? How do you impart  
the knowledge & skills to them without disrupting the pharmaceutical  
service that they provide? In South Africa the pharmaceutical  
services in most rural health facilities are manned solely by this  
cadre & getting them out for any training is problematic. Are there  
any lessons to be learnt from anybody anywhere?
