Pharmacy technician development programme – Applications now open
NHS England and the Centre for Pharmacy Postgraduate Education (CPPE) have announced the launch of the Pharmacy technician development programme: Preparing for the future.
The programme is designed to build confidence and support pharmacy technicians to develop their skills to deliver a wider range of services, now and into the future. Participants will be supported throughout the programme by a dedicated education supervisor, and the programme is designed to offer a flexible, supportive learning experience, designed collaboratively with each pharmacy technician.
The programme will be delivered between October 2025 and March 2026 and will particularly focus on supporting pharmacy technicians to adapt to the evolving scope of practice, including recent changes to supervision legislation and the use of Patient Group Directions.
At the start of the programme, pharmacy technicians will work with their education supervisor to identify their individual development needs and will be supported thereafter to meet these, progressing at a pace that suits them.
For any queries on the programme, please email info@cppe.ac.uk.
