Funded IP Training Opportunity
Wednesday 2nd July 2025
This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a regional ‘Teach & Treat’ project, supporting Independent Prescribing (IP) training for community pharmacists in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough (C&P). Successful applicants will be provided with a DPP plus additional, quality assured, IP training & support
Eligibility Criteria:
- Intention to Enrol: You must be able to start a GPhC-accredited IP training programme in September 2025
- C&P Practice: You must work as a community pharmacist within the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough area for at least three days per week.
- Employer Support: Your employer must provide necessary support for your training, including appropriate cover during your absence (no backfill costs will be covered)
Key Training Considerations:
- Course options: Accredited IP courses typically span six months and combine face-to-face teaching sessions (often one day per week) with self-directed study. We are working with two universities, University of East Anglia and University of Hertfordshire; if successful, you would need to be willing to attend the IP course at one of these (course fees covered by NHS England).
- Learning Requirements: All courses necessitate a minimum of 26 days of formal teaching and learning activities. Additionally, you will be required to complete at least 12 days (90 hours) of supervised practice-based learning under the guidance of a DPP.
