We are pleased to announce that the next Primary care pharmacy education pathway cohort is now open for booking for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians in PCN-funded roles. The cohort will begin in September 2023.
The Primary care pharmacy education pathway equips pharmacy professionals in PCN funded roles with the necessary knowledge, skills and experience to work in various patient-facing roles in primary care networks as part of a multidisciplinary team.
Pharmacists and pharmacy technicians will be able to access a range of different study methods to suit different learning styles, a continuous assessment process and support from supervisors and peers.
This pathway builds on the success of the Clinical pharmacists in general practice education and the Medicines optimisation in care homes pathways. Pharmacists and pharmacy technicians will be able to access a range of different study methods to suit different learning styles, a continuous assessment process and support from supervisors and peers. The pathway is 18-months for pharmacists and 15-months for pharmacy technicians.
Pharmacy professionals who are already enrolled on the Clinical pharmacists in general practice education or the medicines optimisation in care homes pathway will continue with this but any new applicants employed through the primary care Network Contract Directed Enhanced Service will join the Primary care pharmacy education pathway.
The education pathway is outlined in the above image.
