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.

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.

Advancing practice for pharmacy technicians

The following pages signpost you to resources supporting you in advancing your practice as a pharmacy technician. The resources include a tutor supported programme designed to develop community pharmacy technicians working in community pharmacy or Health and Justice to deliver effective clinical services, as well as a series of impact groups and a poster resource designed to empower pharmacy technicians to take control of their professional and career growth. There is also a resource to support you to advance your practice in the education and training of others.
