Training Provider Information Statements provide an opportunity for Training Providers to publish information on the NES website regarding their organisation, including contact details for arranging visits and work placements. The statement is intended to help candidates identify their preferences for Training Provider. Once the Pharmacy Recruitment Team have reviewed the Training Provider Information Statements these will be published on the Public NES TPI site and then on Oriel once applications open.
Training Providers taking part in this year’s recruitment process have two options:
Option A – to submit a preference list of candidates they would be willing to employ and work with over the training period.
Option B – not submit a preference list of candidates.
Prior to making a decision, we advise all Training Providers to read the Foundation Training Year Recruitment Training Provider Handbook.
Please see below for the Expression of Interest and Training Provider Information Statement (TPIS) deadlines for the 2023 recruitment cycle.
