Development opportunities

All Pharmacy Services are underpinned by comprehensive training, and the Trust encourages and supports many development opportunities – both internal, Trust-organised and external independent courses and qualifications. 

Pharmacists, and technicians, where appropriate to the role, are supported to complete postgraduate certificates or diplomas in relevant fields through a variety of universities and third-party providers.

Some of the opportunities our team have recently undertaken include:

• Accredited independent prescribing pharmacist programmes
• Pharmacy technician training
• Pharmacy apprenticeships
• Rheumatology

Staff are encouraged to become active members of professional bodies available to their profession, in a bid to further support their development and professional careers.

Where possible, staff are supported to attend professional pharmacy conferences and webinars.
