Growing the Pharmacy Technician Workforce in Community Pharmacy
Written by AlisonFreemantle on Friday 21st October 2022
HEE are seeking the views of community pharmacy technicians and community pharmacy managers responsible for the employment, education, and training of pharmacy technicians
HEE have commissioned a project to explore barriers and enablers associated with the education, training, and professional development of pharmacy technicians in community pharmacy.
The project seeks to understand the perspectives of pharmacy technicians in the sector, as well as those of community pharmacy managers who are, or have been, responsible for the employment and training of pharmacy technicians.
Meeting the increased demand for community pharmacy services in the future will rely on the support of well-trained pharmacy teams. Pharmacy technicians, as registered pharmacy professionals, are ideally placed to work alongside pharmacists to assist in the delivery of these services. HEE are keen to understand any barriers and enablers to growing this workforce in community pharmacy, to support and inform work with the sector in this area.
The questionnaire will close on Friday 11th November.
All responses will be fully anonymised, and any themes identified will be generic across regions.
