Safeguarding requirements for Pharmacists and Registered Pharmacy Technicians

Written by AlisonFreemantle on Friday 15th December 2023

Part of the Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework

It is part of the contractual framework that all registered staff (pharmacists and technicians) MUST refresh their level safeguarding training every 2 years.

Some services such as the Pharmacy Contraception Service now require level 3 safeguarding as well as level 2 (not instead of).

Ongoing refresher training can be at level 2, without the need to repeat level 1 training but you must do level 2.
