Introduction to Pharmacy Careers Map

NHS Workforce, Training and Education in collaboration with Community Pharmacy Surrey & Sussex, and Kent LPC have developed an interactive Pharmacy Careers Map to promote a career in pharmacy. The website is now live and can be found here.

Map Objectives: 

1. Provide current and future pharmacists with information related to:

• Career opportunities are available to them
• The education and training requirements of these roles
• How to transition between pharmacy roles

2.Support undergraduates and Trainee Pharmacists with decision making around their career.

3.Develop a product that can be used by careers advisors, parents, college students to generate an insight into pharmacy careers.

4.Create a platform to champion pharmacy roles in KSS.

5.Prompt an understanding of the wider healthcare system particularly across the ICS.

Share the website to:

1.Promote pharmacy as a career option

2.Inspire students to want to pursue a career in pharmacy

3.Showcase the varied roles and impact the profession has on patients and public

4.Champion pharmacy careers in Kent Surrey and Sussex

Audience:
