The Education Senate
As pharmacists' role develops under the reformed NHS, further training and education has never been so vital. Newly qualified pharmacists are relying on their degree and pre-registration year to prepare them for practise and those further on in their careers are turning to additional training to provide them with the skills they need.
But is the pharmacy degree providing pharmacists with all the necessary clinical and leadership skills? Are pharmacists encouraged enough to undergo post-graduate training? And what is holding the pharmacists back from achieving further qualifications?
The C+D Senate will be debating pharmacy education and training on Thursday May 16. We have a range of Senators to bash out the arguments. We want to hear your comments and experiences.
