Patient safety is integral to what pharmacy professionals do, but due to the nature of your work, within your practice there will be inherent risks. This campaign aims to help you consider what these risks are and how to minimise them.
If you are a mid-to-senior grade hospital pharmacist or technician working in an acute, community or mental health trust, Leading for change may be for you. Places are filling quickly, so secure your place today.
Our ACPT programme is designed to equip pharmacy technicians with the knowledge, skills and behaviours to undertake the final accuracy check of dispensed items. We are currently running our pilot in London and the South East and applications are open.
We are working in collaboration with the NHS Leadership Academy, with investment from the Pharmacy Integration Fund, to offer the Mary Seacole Leadership Programme to pharmacists and pharmacy technicians working in community pharmacy.
