A new, simpler way to find the support that’s right for you
When you’re facing a challenge, you might know what you’re struggling with – but not necessarily what type of support you need.

That’s why we’ve changed the way we present our support, making it easier to start with what you’re experiencing and explore the information, resources and support available to you.

Our support is now brought together around four key areas:
1️⃣Personal wellbeing
2️⃣Financial health
3️⃣Workplace wellbeing
4️⃣Studying and training

Whether you’re looking for practical information to support your everyday wellbeing or more personalised support through a challenging time, we’re here for you throughout your pharmacy journey.

✅ Check how much medication you have
✅ Order your repeat prescription early
✅ Check your local pharmacy opening times
✅ Collect your medication before the bank holiday

💙 A little planning now can help avoid unnecessary stress later!

Remember: Order early, don’t leave it until the last minute! 💊

Confidence develops through experience, support and reflection.

Newly qualified pharmacist prescribers are expected to take on expanded clinical and prescribing responsibilities early in their career. Support is needed to meet these new professional expectations with confidence.

The new NHS England-funded Pharmacist Enhanced Practice Pathway pilot has been designed to support that journey, helping learners build confidence and set themselves up for future career progression.

Applications open 1 September.
