CPPE ACPT programme – free NHS funded places available
NHS England has funded the Centre for Pharmacy Postgraduate Education (CPPE) to offer further places on their Accuracy checking pharmacy technician (ACPT) programme for pharmacy technicians.
The ACPT programme is a 3-12-month training and development programme available to pharmacy technicians, with employer support. The course is designed to support pharmacy technicians in meeting a range of competencies during their training in order to deliver safe and effective patient care.
The scope of the programme is to train and assess pharmacy technicians to perform the final accuracy check of dispensed items on prescriptions that have been clinically screened/approved by a pharmacist.
Applications are now open with up to 10 funded places available per month and 80 funded places available in total; funding will end when all 80 places have been allocated, or by the end of March 2025.
