RPS Core Advanced Pharmacist Curriculum
What is the RPS Core Advanced Pharmacist Curriculum?
The RPS core advanced curriculum describes the entry-level standard for advanced pharmacists working in any patient focussed role. It bridges the gap between the RPS post-registration foundation curriculum and the RPS consultant pharmacist curriculum. It provides a credentialing assessment to assure pharmacists have the capabilities to practise at an advanced level.
The curriculum has been developed collaboratively to create an advanced pharmacy workforce to meet future patient and service needs.
The curriculum outcomes are aligned to multiprofessional advanced frameworks whilst articulating the pharmaceutical knowledge and skills required specifically of advanced pharmacists.
In line with other RPS post-registration curricula it is made up of five broad domains aligned closely to the four pillars of practice:
- Person-centred care and collaboration
- Professional practice
- Leadership and management
- Education
- Research

How is this different to RPS Faculty?
RPS Faculty is a retrospective recognition of the advanced level of practice of a pharmacist working in any role. It is only open to RPS members.
RPS core advanced credentialing is a prospective assurance assessment for pharmacists working in patient-focussed roles. This means it assures pharmacists have the entry-level capabilities to deliver advanced level care to patients. It is open to all pharmacists including non-RPS members.
