Education providers

All of the places on a new pharmacy technician apprenticeship programme have already been filled on the day it launched, organisers have revealed.

A postgraduate pharmacy student has been removed from the register after she “falsified” documents during her studies, “invented reasons for absences” and made “widespread clinical failures” during her time of employment.

NHS England (NHSE) has decided that mandatory rotations for pharmacy trainees “will be delayed” until the 2027/28 cohort.

The proportion of students who passed this autumn’s registration exam has fallen almost 10 percentage points compared to last year, pharmacy regulators have revealed.

The pharmacy regulator has revealed that it will go forward with some changes to pharmacy education quality checks, despite “long-standing concerns” raised during its consultation.

The mother of a pharmacy student who died by suicide after her university wrongly told her that she had failed her second year is campaigning for universities to have a statutory duty of care to prevent more student deaths.

The newly announced community pharmacy technician apprenticeship scheme is “oversubscribed”, NHS England (NHSE) has revealed.

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.
