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. Places are limited, allocated on a first come, first serve basis, and applications will not be accepted after the closing dates.
Our ACPT programme is designed to equip pharmacy technicians with the knowledge, skills and behaviours to undertake the final accuracy check of dispensed items. Applications are now being accepted from pharmacy technicians in community pharmacy across England, for a limited time only.
Are you a mid-to-senior grade pharmacist or pharmacy technician working in primary or secondary care and looking to develop your leadership skills? Leading for change may be for you. Places are filling quickly so secure your place on your regional programme now.
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. Although the campaign is over, you can still complete the challenges and display your commitment to patient safety.

Consultations with older people are commonplace in pharmacy practice, but increasing complexity around medicines and conditions can present challenges. Supporting the older person in making decisions around their medicines and health while promoting dignity and respect is a vital part of the role of every healthcare professional.
This workshop is part of the Consultation skills for pharmacy practice programme which you can access via the Consultation skills for pharmacy website. It will support you in adapting your consultation to the needs of the older person to ensure a patient-centred approach.
