South East London ICB Pharmacy Workforce Model Programme
Please use this forum as an opportunity to share your views and experiences on the development of the pharmacy workforce model, and let us know what areas of development you would like to see incorporated. We wish to talk with all staff across various sectors, bands and roles to share your current experiences, thoughts and suggestions within your working environment.
The content of this forum would be split into three prevalent topics surrounding skills, opportunity and training, with a focus on:
1) The core standards of skills currently prevalent
2) Any accessible opportunities within the working environment
3) The training and educational processes available for staff
There would also be an additional section dedicated to any other mentions or conversations that you wish to be highlighted but do not fall under the three core categories.
In addition to this, feel through to also join us for further discussions within our virtual focus group sessions that will be taking place on Wednesday 9th August 2023 and Wednesday September 20th 2023. To register your expression of interest, please complete the form attached here:
