Registration onto the National Pre-registration Pharmacist Recruitment Scheme via Oriel

In order to recruit via Oriel, employers must register each year via the online form below. You will need to provide programme specific information and agree to meet the terms of participation.

If you are an existing employer, your employer details will be available by selecting the correct Health Education England region followed by location (sector), Employer Type and speciality or size of organisation from the available selections in the online form below. Once you have submitted your form, you will receive an email from noreply@holograph.digital with a copy of your submission, please check your junk mail folder if you can’t see this email.

We strongly recommend that you download a copy of last years information, which was advertised in Oriel, from the Pharmacy Employers and Programme Information 2020 spreadsheet which is available on the righthand side. The spreadsheet has filters added providing quick access to your programme information from last year. If you have multiple programmes to submit (one form completion per programme) it is advisable to keep a track of which ones you have submitted and ensure you do not submit a programme which you do not plan to recruit to.

Please also read the employer guide, which provides detailed information about the National Recruitment Scheme and more information about registration and providing your programme information, in addition we have also prepared a short video for a step-by-step guide to how to complete the online form.

Please note that if you are an employer in Wales, you should not be completing the online form. Please contact Laura.Doyle3@wales.nhs.uk if you have any queries.
