60 fully funded places available
The CPPE Accuracy checking pharmacy technician (ACPT) programme is now offering 60 places, fully funded by NHS England, from 1 August 2023.
The Accuracy checking pharmacy technician (ACPT) programme is a 3–12-month training and development programme available to pharmacy technicians, with employer support. The course is designed to support pharmacy technicians in meeting a range of competencies during their training in order to deliver safe and effective patient care.
The programme has been designed to assure employers in each sector that pharmacy technicians who successfully complete the set learning and assessments are able to undertake the role and have the appropriate knowledge, skills and behaviours to deliver high-quality, consistent checks of medicines. It includes tasks that will develop leadership skills to support the team and drive performance.
The programme offers a blended approach to learning that includes resources for self-directed study, e-learning and practice-based activities. It is flexible so that it meets the needs of stakeholders. Following comprehensive assessment, pharmacy technicians will be able to use this learning to support optimisation of skills in the dispensing process.
Applications are now open. Up to 20 funded places will be available each month, and will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
