pharmacy training
The aim of all stages of pharmacy training, including initial and post-registration education, is to ensure that pharmacists and pharmacy technicians are capable and practise ethically throughout their careers in whatever context. Training and CPD should result in a pharmacy team with the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values that enable them to discharge their responsibilities to patients, other users of pharmacy services, colleagues and society in general. These principles are based on the understanding that pharmacy education is capability-based and people-centred and must reflect the professionalism required by all members of the pharmacy team at all stages of their career. It is important to note that while the principles are generic, they relate to all stages of pharmacy education, the whole range of education providers and both public and private sector employers of pharmacy training teams. How they will be applied will be proportional and appropriate to specific sectors and
