Are you a pharmacist working in a community setting?

If you are a community pharmacist, take advantage of fully funded training offered through the Pharmacy Integration Fund, and give your career a boost.

While you will have developed clinical and managerial skills, you may not have had the opportunity to develop the attitudes, skills and behaviours to demonstrate true clinical leadership in your pharmacy
