Educational Frameworks
NHS ENgland South East has developed frameworks for both the Educational and Practice Supervisor roles within pharmacy for staff who manage and deliver training.
The frameworks can be used as a standalone tool for supervisors to identify the competencies relevant to their role(s) and to demonstrate competence against criteria set by mapping their experience to them and identifying learning needs.
The frameworks can be found here:

These programmes have been written for pharmacy professionals; however, pharmacy support staff will be able to achieve key development skills from completing this course via eLfH.
