CPPE: community pharmacy technician programme extension and webinar

The community pharmacy technician: advancing your role programme was launched in September 2023 and has been extended until March 2025. This programme aims to develop the knowledge, clinical skills and behaviours of pharmacy technicians working in community pharmacy to increase patient access to clinical services by widening the skill mix in community pharmacy teams.

The learning guides pharmacy technicians to reflect upon their existing transferable skills and identify development needs to support the readiness for advancing their role in practice to support service delivery.

The course is made up a self-directed e-course and learning needs analysis (LNA) at the start of the programme, a face-to-face workshop on clinical assessment skills (CAS), workplace practice of CAS, a two-hour workshop for reflection and optional monthly peer support sessions, all providing learners with the opportunity to develop their professional network and establish communities of practice.

CPPE is running a live webinar to provide more information and answer any questions about the Community pharmacy technician: advancing your role programme on

Tuesday 10th September 7:00-8:00pm.
