Remember, pharmacists can access both Revalidation and Mentoring support at any stage of their post-registration development journey.
Initial education and training
(Pre-Foundation)
We responded to the General Pharmaceutical Council’s (GPhC) consultation on standards for the education and training of pharmacists, which they aim to implement by Autumn 2021.
MORE ABOUT INITIAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING
We broadly support these proposals but are concerned that no funding has been specified for them.
Foundation training
We have developed a national foundation pharmacist curriculum and assessment programme to provide a standardised approach to training across all sectors and geography. The national foundation curriculum is underpinned by the RPS Foundation Pharmacist Framework and has been developed through a collaborative programme with representation and input from all main UK stakeholders.

Advanced level practice
Recommendations from our faculty review task & finish group and wider reference group about how best to support advanced practice were considered by our assembly in November 2019 and, as a result, we will be strengthening the way in which we recognise pharmacists working as advanced practitioners through our credentialing services.
MORE ABOUT ADVANCED LEVEL PRACTICE
We're also looking at how best to support our members with direct delivery of post-registration education and training, following the success of our antimicrobial resistance and transition programmes.
Consultant level practice
We have developed processes to accredit consultant-level posts and credential consultant-ready pharmacists in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
