Emerging routes to early career prescribing in pharmacy
The Initial Education and Training of Pharmacists reform will introduce new learning outcomes, enabling newly registered pharmacists to prescribe from 2025/26.
This interactive resource explores how the foundation pharmacist learning outcomes relating to prescribing enable early career pharmacists to implement prescribing in practice. It features seven early career pharmacists in different practice settings, highlighting their individual clinical focus, the clinical, procedural, and technical skills they’ll utilise, future development opportunities, and commonalities with other areas of practice.
This resource will help learners, educators and employers to implement and make the most of these exciting changes to how pharmacists provide care for patients.
- Foundation pharmacists can use it to envision the prescribing roles they may be undertaking once registered. It can also be used by pharmacists who are already registered to identify potential areas of practice to develop their prescribing role.
- Undergraduate students can also use it as a guide to understand how they can develop their knowledge and skills through their development towards foundation training and registration.
These resources were developed a by group of experts from clinical practice working in all the settings described. The examples are not exhaustive but demonstrate indicative examples of how pharmacist prescribing may be used in practice.
