Over the past few months the NHS England North West WT&E pharmacy, in collaboration with North West stakeholders, have developed and published three scope of practice resources which can be found on the NHS England Foundation Trainee Pharmacist Programme area of the NHS Learning Hub. Although developed and published by the North West, they are available nationally and can be accessed by colleagues in other regions if useful.
Last week the final of the three were uploaded, and they can all be found here:
- Scope of Practice for Newly Qualified Pharmacist Prescribers in General Practice – Recommendations and Principles
- Scope of Practice for Newly Qualified Pharmacist Prescribers in Secondary Care – Recommendations and Principles
- Supporting Newly Qualified Pharmacist Prescribers in Community Pharmacy – Recommendations and Principles
These resources include recommendations and principles for newly qualified pharmacist prescribers, including materials for general practice and secondary care. If you would like to adapt the principles of these resources for your local governance, please make sure you request the relevant permission(s) from the authors.
