Newly Qualified Pharmacist Pathway (NQPP)

This new (optional) pathway is designed for learners across all sectors of pharmacy, to help them meet their development needs as they enter newly qualified practice. 

The pathway aims to link the initial education and training reforms to a continuum of post-registration development.

It is also intended to help pharmacists make the transition to more independent learning, and to act as a stepping-stone towards advanced practice.

There will be 2 webinars run by the RPS to support the launch of the e-portfolio:  

• Online webinar registration: Wednesday 26th January 7-8.30pm (for educational supervisors)
• Online webinar registration: Wednesday 2nd February 7-8.30pm (for learners)
