As a student pharmacist or pre-registration trainee pharmacy technician, your key focus is on excelling in your studies and preparing for exams. We offer a range of resources to support you to develop further knowledge and skills you can apply in practice.
Our Student pharmacists guide has suggestions to get you started including a list of e-learning and distance learning programmes available to student pharmacists. To access these programmes you will need to register as a student pharmacist with CPPE. If you would like to find out how to register, you can access information here.
You can also access the external resources on our gateway pages. Use the search function on our website to find a topic or click on the NHS priorities, Clinical Pharmacy or Public Health tabs at the top of the website homepage for a list of the gateway pages.
The Student pharmacist guide also contains information on how CPPE can support you to develop and demonstrate attributes required for your application for a trainee pharmacist placement, how CPPE can support you during your foundation training year and in your future career as a pharmacist.
We also work with the British Pharmaceutical Students’ Association (BPSA). The BPSA is the official pharmacy undergraduate organisation of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society and represents both pharmacy undergraduates and trainee pharmacists. The BPSA host a small number of CPPE programmes on their website. You can attend CPPE sessions at BPSA conferences. More information about conferences is given on the BPSA website.
As a pre-registration trainee pharmacy technician, you can register on the CPPE website by choosing the ‘other’ category. This will give you access to many learning resources to help you on your journey to becoming a registered pharmacy technician.
Once you gain your GPhC number it is important to register on the CPPE website again using the ‘GPhC registrant’ category. You can then merge your two accounts by clicking the ‘merge my accounts’ option from ‘My CPPE’ which you will find in the dropdown menu under your name on the top right of the screen. This will give you access to all of the learning programmes available to pharmacy technicians to support you on your pharmacy technician career journey, whichever direction you take.
