Information for the Pharmacy Workforce
PWDS is working with HEE and other partners to provide a system-wide response to COVID-19.
We are working with our key stakeholders to support pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, trainees and the wider pharmacy workforce respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.
As the NHS mobilises to support increasing numbers of patients suffering from symptoms of COVID-19, we are working in partnership across the system to provide:
- Guidance for pre-registration pharmacists and pharmacy technicians with their studies and next steps
- Support for trainees on PWDS accreditation programmes, including reviewing face to face delivery models and assessments
- Links to pharmacy materials to aid learning and up-skilling via the e-Learning for Health coronavirus programme
- Links to workforce planning advice and support including facilitating the deployment of MPharm students wishing to support the pharmacy workforce
