NHS priorities

Whether it’s to prepare for the next Pharmacy Quality Scheme deadline, or to increase your confidence in helping people with a learning disability, this section provides topic-specific pages that link to current NHS priorities. This section will support you in keeping your knowledge and skills up to date in order to provide high-quality pharmacy services and be service-ready.

Clinical pharmacy

Our clinical portfolio is expanding on a frequent basis, helping you to advance your knowledge and skills and deliver medicines optimisation in practice for all sectors of pharmacy. From two new focal points a year to our small group learning for hospital pharmacists – Optimise – this section focuses on clinical pharmacy, diseases and therapeutics.

Public health

The public health agenda is embedded in pharmacy, yet topics such as emergency contraception or stop smoking support are as prevalent as ever. As well as our public health workshops, use this section to access a wide range of resources to assure and maintain your competence, all underpinned by the Declaration of Competence system.

Career progression

It can seem hard to keep learning and driving your career forwards after you have been working for a few years. Our programmes on staff management, leadership and team building can all help you to build your knowledge in these areas, allowing you to demonstrate your ability and progress in your career.

This is also a time when you may want to provide real evidence of the difference that you are making to patient care. The Advanced practice framework (APF) enables you to map your skills to specific competencies and identify areas of your practice you wish to develop further. For pharmacists, this is an essential element of Faculty membership.

There are a number of other ways to progress in your pharmacy career. Perhaps this is the time for you to stretch your skills and become a prescriber or accuracy checking pharmacy technician (ACPT). Why not explore our learning materials for pharmacy professionals working in primary care? If you're interested in a career in research, access the National Institute for Health Research Building a research career handbook.

Whatever your goal, our coaches can support you to achieve it. Find out more about the CPPE coaching service here.
