England Foundation Programme

In England we will support you to attend the NHS England training provision whilst also offering an internal programme tailored to community pharmacy. You will receive an initial induction and up to 4 hours study time per week. Well will provide you with support to pass the registration assessment, including enrolment onto training programmes which will cover a variety of topics relevant to community pharmacy.

Completing your Foundation Training with Well, we will cover your GPhC and RPS fees and provide you with a Designated Supervisor who will support you with building your skills and knowledge to become a Responsible Pharmacist, whilst also reviewing your evidence on the e-portfolio to sign off your leaning outcomes.

You will also be invited to our Annual Preparation for Practice conference where you will meet senior leaders and further develop your clinical and leadership skills needed for a Newly Qualified Pharmacist role.

In addition, you will be provided with a DPP to enable you to build your prescribing competencies, unless you have graduated from an MPharm against previous learning outcomes or from an Overseas Pharmacists Assessment Programme (OSPAP).
