Developmental Resources for Pharmacy
Webpage last updated: 12/07/2024
Introduction
This developmental resources webpage has been created to enable signposting to available resources for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians.
Use of these resources will depend on the individual learner’s professional development or employer training needs, job role and career direction. Many of these resources will be of value to the professional development of both pharmacists and pharmacy technicians. For this reason, many of the resources have not been mapped directly to specific pharmacy professions or to specific levels of practice. Where appropriate, resources specific to one pharmacy staff group have been indicated.
This webpage is not intended as an exhaustive list of available resources and will be reviewed regularly to ensure it meets the developmental needs of pharmacy staff. Note that some of the resources included may require membership (e.g. Royal Pharmaceutical Society) or registration (e.g. NHS Elect).
