Education providers

Aston University has revealed its new £3.3m pharmacy training laboratory.

The pharmacy regulator has said that “there is an excess of places” for trainees – as long as placement providers can “actually make good and deliver on the new requirements” for DPPs. 

The Pharmacy Schools Council have called for academic pharmacy to be “more attractive” so it can deal with an increase of 1500 pharmacy students by 2031.

The University of Nottingham’s Professor Barrie Kellam has been elected as chair of the Pharmacy Schools Council (PhSC), it has announced.

The Welsh university has announced plans to offer an “exciting and relevant” MPharm degree from 2025, with opportunities to practise in the Welsh language. 

An NHS England (NHSE) pharmacy dean has said that new funding for PCNs available through the ARRS scheme will boost DPP numbers in preparation for 2025/26.

Kingston University’s immersive approach to learning inspires students to look below the surface and treat every patient as an individual – landing it a sought-after C+D Award

The “number one” pharmacy training provider has been acquired by BPP Education Group, the group has announced. 

Students on the new scheme backed by £1.5 million in funding will be assigned to “experiential placement sites across London”, including care homes and mental health trusts, one London university announced. 

The multiple has offered “less than 30” places for English pharmacy trainees in the 2025/26 cohort and may “need to withdraw some of those places”, C+D has learned.
