OPPORTUNITY: NHS funded training for community pharmacists

Are you a pharmacist working in a community setting?

If you are a community pharmacist, take advantage of fully funded training offered through the Pharmacy Integration Fund, and give your career a boost.

The community pharmacy profession is changing and becoming integrated into the wider NHS healthcare team, with new roles being created. While you will have developed clinical and managerial skills, you may not have had the opportunity to develop the attitudes, skills and behaviours to demonstrate true clinical leadership in your pharmacy
