What are the benefits of training in General Practice?  

The opportunity to develop a broader skillset, work as part of a multidisciplinary team, and receive the support of a wide range of practitioners. You will also be supported by the HEE regional facilitator team, with access to all the HEE assessment strategy tools and e-portfolio to help you achieve the GPhC learning outcomes.   

The opportunity to develop a broader skillset  

• Training in more than one sector allows you to develop a broader range of knowledge and skills through the different experiences offered in each sector.  

• The training is designed to prepare you for the registration assessment but also to develop the core skills required of pharmacists both now and in the future.  

• Develop and practice clinical and physical assessment techniques and gain strong consultation skills.  

• Experience the management of both acute and chronic conditions and see first-hand the role pharmacists have in delivering healthcare in general practice.
