You've just qualified as an independent prescriber upon registration. Now comes the challenge of putting those new responsibilities into practice.

For many newly qualified pharmacists, confidence is one of the biggest barriers during the transition from qualification to real-world practice.

The new NHS England-funded Pharmacist Enhanced Practice Pathway pilot, delivered by CPPE, is designed to support you as you develop your prescribing skills, build confidence in managing increasingly complex care and embed prescribing into everyday practice.

Applications open 1 September. Keep an eye on our channels for more information.

Emergency Departments are for life threatening emergencies, but there are other NHS services that can help if your condition is urgent but not an emergency.

Before going to A&E, think NHS 111, your GP, local pharmacy, Urgent Treatment Centre or Minor Injury Unit. Choosing the right service helps people get the care they need while keeping emergency services available for those who need them most.
