Post-Registration Foundation Programme Listening event
Published: 16/01/25
Share your views on the future of the Post-Registration Foundation Programme: Listening event 30th January
Please find below a message and invitation from our colleagues at NES Pharmacy:
Dear Colleague,
We are looking for your views on the future of the Post-Registration Foundation programme (PRPF).
In August 2026, pharmacists who have been fully trained to the 2021 GPhC Initial Education & Training (IET) Standards, will register with the GPhC as an independent prescriber. This not only removes the need for Post-registration Foundation Pharmacists to undertake an accredited Independent Prescribing course, but will also impact on the individual learning needs of the Foundation Pharmacists, and the assurance requirements of their employers.
A review of the NES Post-registration Foundation Programme (for Pharmacists) is underway.
Please come along and share your views at our community pharmacy listening event: 30th January 2025, 7.30pm.
If you have any questions, please contact leon.zlotos@nhs.scot.
From 4th November 2024, the Ask for ANI scheme has no longer been available in pharmacies. However, the Safe Spaces scheme has continued in over 6,000 Pharmacies, Banks and Building Societies across the UK. The Safe Spaces scheme is overseen by Scottish Women’s Aid/Hestia.
