Foundation Training Programme Multi-sector Rotation Resources

The NHS Interim People Plan (2019) emphasises the importance of cross-sector training for early careers pharmacists to meet the workforce needed for integrated care systems as part of the NHS Long Term Plan.

Cross-sector training for pharmacists is recognised as a model to develop Foundation Trainee Pharmacists’ understanding of the different roles of pharmacists across health and care sectors, as well as the roles of professions involved in patient care within the system. Cross-sector rotations also give Foundation Trainee Pharmacists an opportunity to widen their professional sector experience and to gain learning and evidence to support completion of the GPhC learning outcomes.

The London & South East Short duration placement (‘taster’) resources have now been incorporated into the NHS England WT&E Multi-sector Rotation Foundation Trainee Pharmacist Guide for 2024-25.
