Introduction to Pharmacy Careers Map
Health Education England 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 https://careersinpharmacy.uk/.
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

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