Community Education Providers Network (CEPN) Pharmacy Project

Community pharmacy trainees undergoing placements in GP surgeries - Project update

All trainee placements for this year have been completed and the project is now being evaluated. We are in the midst of collecting post-placement feedback from stakeholders, after which our evaluation partner will begin analysis of all data, followed by write-up. 

Our advisory role on two sister projects (one mirroring the pre-reg placements, and a second pairing qualified pharmacists and GPs) in North Central and East London continues. Both projects are using the template initiated within the Kent, Surrey and Sussex project. We are now planning to extend the project to incorporate even more community pharmacy pre-registration trainees across the London and South East region. To this end a new project manager has been appointed to cover KSS and South London; Jill Merewood began her role on the 4th July and will be working closely with Atif Shamim on the wider rollout.
