Non-PCN NHS England funded places for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians
Background
NHS England commissions the Centre for Pharmacy Postgraduate Education (CPPE) to provide compulsory training for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians whose salaries are being supported with the Additional Role Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS) finding. This training pathway is the Primary care pharmacy education pathway.
NHS England has agreed that places remaining for a cohort not taken by pharmacy professionals in ARRS funded roles can be made available to pharmacists and pharmacy technicians in non-PCN roles in GP practices or care homes if their the employer agrees to provide the necessary support.
