Post-Registration Foundation Programme for Newly Qualified Pharm

This programme, launching in Autumn 2021, has been aligned to the Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) Post-Registration Foundation pharmacist curriculum and has been developed with key stakeholders to include specific requirements and content to reflect the needs of the patients, workforce and service delivery in NHS Scotland. The programme promises to provide supported structured training with dedicated support from Senior Educators from the Post – Registration Foundation team. A key aspect of this specific programme is that it includes entry onto an Independent Prescribing course delivered by one of the universities in Scotland.

Eligibility for inclusion in the training

The programme is for newly qualified pharmacists in patient-focussed roles in any sector of practice. To be able to achieve the outcomes, the pharmacist’s role must include direct patient-facing contact and working in an area of practice in which they will develop their prescribing capabilities.

Registration

Registration is open from 1 August 2023 to 31 August 2023. The programme is aimed at pharmacists who are newly qualified, have just completed their Foundation Training Year and who work a minimum of 3 days per week with the same employer. Unfortunately we are currently unable to accommodate locum pharmacists.

If you have more experience than the one year Foundation Training Year, contact the team at the e mail address below and we will let you know if you are eligible.
