Training for pharmacists has recently been reviewed. Training for pharmacists is best undertaken in the multidisciplinary settings in which they will work.

As part of implementing these revised standards, NHS England is working with Schools of Pharmacy to support the introduction of cross-sector clinical placements and is exploring how to optimise the distribution of training posts. Clinical placements aim to give students supervised practice opportunities in a range of settings and experience of working as part of multidisciplinary teams, which will be key to the development of our pharmacy workforce.
