NHS Pre-Registration Pharmacist Scheme 2015/16

TRAINING PROVIDER INFORMATION STATEMENTS PRPS Recruitment 2015/16 All Training Providers were asked to provide an information statement regarding their organisation and the arrangements for preregistration training. Each statement should contain contact information along with details of training sites on offer, general background to the organisation and information on potential opportunities for summer placements, parttime work and visiting each Pharmacy. The purpose of the Training Provider’s information statement is to facilitate prospective trainees in making informed choices about potential training providers that they may wish to undertake their pre-registration training with, thus enabling them to complete their Preference Form. The key to being successful in the recruitment process is to ensure that you are on Training Provider Preference Lists prior to the preferencing deadline; the best way to do this is to arrange visitations and work placements with Training Providers. Please be aware that some Training Providers, in their information statements, have listed premises that are not yet on the NES Approved List. Please note that ONLY premises on the NES Approved List may be used as training bases in the PreRegistration Pharmacist Scheme (PRPS). There are two different ways of viewing and navigating this document, the first index is listed alphabetically by Pharmacy name, and broken up into sections for Community and Hospital Pharmacies. The second index is a list of Training Providers organised by Health Board area. A link back to both indices appears at the bottom of each page.

Most of the necessary community experience of a preregistration pharmacy graduate can be obtained at Burnside and Merrylee Pharmacies, however, we strive to increase that experience through visiting a needle exchange pharmacy, a GP practice and giving the trainee an insight into the organisation of other bodies impacting on the delivery of healthcare services e.g. the local CHP, the health board, and Community Pharmacy Scotland. We are fully committed to providing the high standards of preregistration training as required by NES Pharmacy through full compliance with the requirements of the Educational Agreement.

This also results in us having a very close working relationship with the local district nurses, CPNs, social work, and palliative care team, making a difference locally to help improve patient care. We have a qualified supplementary prescriber, and have a supplementary prescribing clinic run within the pharmacy.

Training Provider background In addition to the national public health services; we participate in numerous local initiatives run by the health board, including Clozapine supply, anti-TNF supply, palliative care, MDS, community MAR charts and are also an early adopter site for CMS. This involves us dispensing serial prescriptions, and helping train surgery staff in relation to this. In order to successfully run this aspect of the new contract we have had very close working with the GP practice staff, including GPs and reception staff. As we work in a rural area, we have a local community hospital for which we supply all discharge medications, providing experience in a community hospital environment. We are involved in the undergraduate experiential learning programme with University of Strathclyde and enjoy having the students to learn about community pharmacy.

We were able to organise visits and experience with many different healthcare professional for previous pre-registration trainees. This has been possible through the established relationships the pharmacy has with local healthcare professionals. Previous visits have included visits to, or days out with:

The trainee attended numerous NES training evenings, along with the tutor, in order that the tutor understood exactly what had been learned during the training event, and what learning outcomes could be developed further. Although we do not have organised training days, the tutor uses real prescriptions on a daily basis to improve clinical knowledge and has developed training tools to cover clinical pharmacy, the drug tariff, and the legal side of pharmacy. As these tools have been developed by the tutor, the student benefits from the tutor being fully aware of the content of these training tools.

We have had students for summer placement in the past, and would be delighted for any student to come to the pharmacy for a half day or full day prior to applying. This provides the opportunity to meet staff and experience how the pharmacy runs.

Our current activities include palliative care, MMy Medicines, Unscheduled Care, EHC, Smokefree service, stoma supply, Gluten Free Pilot Service, Medicines Management LES, Bisphosponate LES & Asthma LES.

General comment

Many of our current pharmacists and locums are previous prereg students but as a small company we cannot guarantee work within the organisation after the training period. However we believe that in providing a high quality training year we help to maximise the trainee’s chances of future employment.

All training provided fully complies with both GPhC standards and the NES educational agreement. John-Paul Mackie will also complete the pre-registration experience by giving an overview of how the ‘Community Pharmacy’ sector operates as a business. This will include leadership skills, business management, marketing / merchandising, human resource management and financial analysis. He will encourage and mentor you in your future career path.

Name of Training Provider

Kyle Square Pharmacy

Kyle Square Pharmacy is an independent pharmacy that has been an active provider of NES PRPS training since 2011. It is located in a residential area of Rutherglen with a high demand for pharmacy and health care services. We play a pivotal role in the community, providing a range of services: Prescription collection and delivery, smoking cessation (including pharmacist prescribing of Champix), blood pressure checks, compliance aids, supervision of methadone and suboxone, brief alcohol interventions and more. In addition we are committed to charity work, we sponsor the local primary school football team and we engage with local groups such as the Women’s Guild.

Training Provider background

A small team with big ambitions, we are looking for preregistration pharmacists who can bring as much to the role as they hope to get out of it. The pre-registration tutor is the manager and is one of the owners of the pharmacy. This affords trainees great insight into the additional roles and challenges of being a community pharmacy contractor. We have our own in-house training programme including accuracy checks, clinical checks and OSCEs and are committed to providing pre-registration training that is both comprehensive and compliant with GPhC and NES standards. This has served us and our trainees well in the past few years and we endeavor to maintain our 100% pass rate.

This may include shadowing of prescribing support pharmacists, Community Addiction Team, Community Older People’s Team or any relevant areas of interest as agreed.

NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde Pharmacy and Prescribing Support Unit (NHSGGC PPSU)

NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde (NHSGGC) has the biggest hospital pharmacy team in Scotland and is offering preregistration training for up to 17 graduates. The organisation has supported pre-registration training for a long time with a very good track record, thanks to the excellent support provided by the pre-registration tutors. The hospital pharmacy service in NHSGGC provides a comprehensive range of services and the main focus is the delivery of high quality pharmaceutical care to patients across all hospitals and clinical specialties. The geographical size of the Health Board is relatively small for the size of its population (almost ¼ of the population of Scotland).

Training Provider background

The development of the New South Glasgow Hospitals campus means that with the new adult and children’s hospitals due to be operational in summer 2015, this is an exciting time to be undertaking your training in NHSGGC. Recent redesign of services has produced a centralised robotic procurement and distribution service and this will enable the hospital teams to further develop existing ward based services so that most patients will have their medicines in the bedside locker and the pharmacy team will be on hand to take drug histories, provide clinical advice, prescribe medicines and educate patients and staff. The pharmacy service has also consolidated its information and governance arrangements and created appropriate specialist teams to provide expert advice across the single system service to ensure consistency of approach. Pre-registration trainees will participate in most areas of service delivery and gain broad experience and evidence to demonstrate completion of the Performance Standards. NHSGGC provides the full range of clinical specialties including cardiology, respiratory, gastroenterology, neurology, nephrology, urology, vascular surgery, plastic surgery, dermatology, intensive care medicine, paediatrics, neonatology, fetal medicine, psychiatry and care of the elderly amongst others. The West of Scotland Cancer Centre is based at the Beatson Oncology Centre in Glasgow and also has a well developed pharmacy service. Pre-registration trainees will get the opportunity to train in several of these areas during their year. There are close working relationships with Pharmaceutical Public Health, Prescribing Support Services, and Community Pharmacies and all of these areas contribute to preregistration training. Pre-registration trainees will attend West of Scotland hospital pharmacy pre-registration training days and local tutorial sessions as well as participate in all aspects of training associated with the NES Pre-Registration Pharmacist Scheme.

NHS Pre-Registration Pharmacist Scheme 2015/16 Due to the exciting development of the New South Glasgow Hospitals (NSGH) campus into one of the largest hospital sites in Europe, the base sites used for pre-registration training within NHSGGC are subject to change over the year 2015/16. Some specialised training in areas such as Medicines Information and Aseptic services is already provided from a central base. Trainees may also spend time gaining experience in clinical areas on sites other than their base site. All hospitals in NHSGGC are within a relatively small geographical area and are accessible by public transport; pre-registration pharmacists are expected to travel throughout the health board area in order to take advantage of the wide range of training opportunities offered. The following hospitals are currently used as training bases for pre-registration training:

Because of the exciting developments taking place in NHSGGC, candidates must be prepared to undertake their training in any of the sites listed above. It should also be recognised that there may be a requirement to move base from one site to another within the health board area depending on the timetable for relocation of services. All hospitals in NHSGGC are part of a single, GPhC approved, regional training programme.

NHSGGC provides summer hospital vacational training for pharmacy undergraduates and this is organised via the Scottish Hospital Pharmacy Vacational Training Scheme on an annual basis.

NHS Highland has been involved in pre-registration training for many years and boasts an enviable reputation for the quality of the services provided and for the friendliness of its staff. Preregistration trainee pharmacists can be assured of a warm welcome. There are usually two trainees each year, based at Raigmore Hospital, Inverness. Raigmore is the main hospital for the Highlands serving a population of just over 200,000 over a large geographical area. Like the city in which it is based, the pharmacy service is constantly developing. There are about 90 staff at the main site, Raigmore Hospital in Inverness, and about 100 within the overall Pharmacy Services Unit which also includes some primary care pharmacists and support staff. Some of the Department’s clinical trials activity is housed within a new Clinical Research Facility.

Training Provider background

Redesign of medicines usage supporting implementation of national strategy is designed to deliver improved evidencebased services to the public and patients, using the skills of the pharmaceutical profession to deliver effective care. In conjunction with other initiatives, including skill mix review, this will also address quality standards and targets for medicines management. These are designed to ensure that medicines policies throughout Highland are consistent with best practice. Pre-registration trainee pharmacists based at Raigmore enjoy a full and varied year tailored to their individual needs and interests. The year follows the GPhC Performance Standards Programme in the context of experiencing work in a variety of specialities and settings. Trainees usually start with a brief spell in the distribution and procurement sections of the department. This provides them with an understanding of the vital roles, which these core sections have in ensuring the continuing availability of medicines for patient care. Experience is then gained in all the other sections of the department: Quality Assurance, Medicines Management & Information, Production / Aseptic Dispensing, Dispensary and Clinical Pharmacy. A clinical placement in Mental Health Pharmacy at New Craigs in Inverness is included. Trainees also spend time with Primary Care colleagues and learn of the work of specialists such as NHS Highland’s Formulary Pharmacist. Trainees are given a choice of projects for the NES scheme. On a wider level, Raigmore acts as the base for a Research Institute, has academic links with schools of pharmacy and participates in the training both of medical and nursing students.

NHS Pre-Registration Pharmacist Scheme 2015/16 clinical offices. The pharmacy service within Wishaw General is provided from a network of nine pharmacy workstations and two aseptic areas located over the two floors of the hospital. All sites use the patients’ own drugs (POD) scheme during their inpatient stay and on discharge. This scheme involves pharmacists and technicians working together in teams on wards to document accurate drug histories on admission, ensure the quality of patients’ own drugs brought into hospital, reduce waiting times on discharge and educate patients about their medicines. Pharmacy staff across the three sites work closely together and there are a number of posts which carry area-wide responsibilities. Most of the pharmacists working within the three sites have clinical responsibilities, many of which are within specialist areas. During the pre-registration year, education and training is given a high priority and pre-registration trainee pharmacists rotate through a structured programme to gain experience in all aspects of pharmaceutical care including clinical pharmacy, dispensing, aseptic dispensing and procurement. Each pre-registration pharmacist will be assigned an experienced senior pharmacist as a tutor who will meet with them regularly throughout the pre-registration year to support progress. There will be opportunities to gain experience in specialties including emergency receiving, haematology, oncology, neonates, paediatrics, cardiology, respiratory, mental health, infectious diseases, renal medicine and intensive care. A one month secondment to a community pharmacy is provided. In addition to on-site support, our pre-registration trainee pharmacists participate in the NES and West of Scotland Preregistration study days. Pre-registration trainee pharmacists will also undertake and present a project and time will be provided in which to study for the pre-registration exam and undertake and complete the relevant aspects of the core learning programme.

Summer placements / Part-time work / Visitation.

Hairmyres, Wishaw General and Monklands Hospitals all provide vocational employment for undergraduates during the summer months as part of the Scottish Hospital Pharmacists Vacational Training Scheme. This involves a three week placement providing a variety of training in the dispensary, medicines information, aseptic unit and clinical pharmacy as well as completion of a small audit. Each site offers an open day visit for any students who wish to visit any of the hospitals to discuss pre-registration training opportunities, these open days are advertised through the relevant schools of pharmacy.

NHS Lothian

The NHS Lothian Pharmacy Service is committed to providing outstanding patient-centred pharmaceutical care. It is managed as a single system within which primary and secondary care services are integrated and aspire to meet patients’ pharmaceutical needs as they move across care settings. The service serves a population of approximately 800,000 people living in Edinburgh and the Lothian region. Users of the service have influenced the Pharmacy Strategy which details a delivery plan for Pharmacy services over the next few years under the following themes: patient experience, patient safety through quality, efficiency and productivity, and pharmacy workforce.

Training Provider background

Many specialist clinical services are delivered from Lothian hospitals. For example, the Western General Hospital, a 750 bedded hospital hosts the Regional Cancer Centre, Infectious Diseases and Clinical Neurosciences Units. The Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh which has in excess of 900 inpatient beds hosts the Scottish Liver Transplant Centre and other specialist services such as maternity, accident & emergency, cardiac surgery, renal unit and orthopaedic surgery. St Johns Hospital hosts the burns and plastic surgery unit and there is a separate Royal Hospital for Sick Children. All acute sites provide general clinical services. The Regional Medicines Information Centre hosts the Scottish yellow card centre for reporting adverse drug reactions and is located in the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh. Hospitals within the primary care division include mental health, care of the elderly and rehabilitation services. The Pharmacy service is delivered by over 300 members of staff. There is a structured approach to personal and workforce development to ensure Pharmacy services continue to meet developing patient needs. Formal links with academic institutions and with NHS Education for Scotland facilitates a partnership approach to the development and delivery of formal education and training for Pharmacists and Pharmacy support staff. Provision of pre-registration training has been delivered in NHS Lothian hospitals for a number of decades and is a priority in terms of staff development. Pre-registration trainees are based at one of three main hospital sites (see below) and follow an extensive rotational programme which takes them to other sites to experience specialist services such as paediatrics, mental health and primary care. There is some flexibility within the programme to provide trainees with the opportunity to learn about specialist services offered from any of the sites. Teamworking among the group of 7 trainees is encouraged through project work and small group training events.

General comment

To compliment cross sector training and NES supported training events, the NHS Lothian Pharmacy service provides an additional programme of direct learning events which includes a clinical induction course and study days throughout the year. However, the focus is on experiential learning in the workplace as a sound basis for continuing professional development following the pre-registration year. Each trainee has a tutor at their base site that monitors their progress and facilitates their professional development. The NHS Lothian pre-registration pharmacist training manual contains training plans for each rotation to ensure a consistent approach to experiential learning within the service. Trainers within each department support trainees through provision of training plans and feedback on performance.
