  •  
    In a bid to bolster the educational experience for undergraduate pharmacy students across London, Kingston University has embarked on a groundbreaking project in collaboration with University College London and King's College London. This initiative, fueled by a substantial £1.5 million investment from National Health Services England (NHSE), aims to elevate the quality and consistency of pharmacy placements throughout the capital for new pharmacy entrants. The project is designed to address the evolving standards set forth by the General Pharmaceutical Council (GphC), ensuring that newly-trained pharmacists are well-prepared to meet the demands of their profession. By standardizing and expanding pharmacy placements, the three universities seek to provide students with a comprehensive and diverse range of "experiential learning opportunities".

Future Pharmacists Prepared for Prescribing Roles - Northern Ireland's EL Programme Pra... - 0 views

  •  
    Northern Ireland's Health Minister, Mike Nesbitt, has welcomed the launch of the 2024/25 Experiential Learning (EL) Programme, designed to equip future pharmacists with the skills needed for a greater role in clinical care. Starting in 2026, pharmacy undergraduate students will qualify as independent prescribers upon registration, and this programme is designed to prepare them for that responsibility. The EL Programme provides pharmacy students with multi-sector clinical work placements across the region. Speaking at the programme's launch at Ulster Hospital, Minister Nesbitt said: "This is the second year of this successful programme, which will see pharmacy students in Northern Ireland benefit from the training by completing up to twelve weeks of practice-based learning in hospitals, community pharmacies and general practices across NI. "This will provide them with actual practice-based experiences in a range of healthcare settings, facilitating them to interact with patients and engage in interprofessional practice.
