About the Programmes

There are two programmes:

Programme 1: Training for Educational Supervisors including Designated Supervisors. Both pharmacists and pharmacy technicians can apply for the educational supervisor training.

Programme 2: Training for Designated Prescribing Practitioners (DPP) supporting supervision of learners completing independent prescribing training.

Pharmacist and pharmacy technician roles are evolving rapidly in response to changes in healthcare and growing demand for clinical services in community pharmacy. Learner supervision is needed across the pharmacy professions to underpin the transformation and up-skilling of the growing pharmacy workforce.

This training will ensure those involved in education supervision, including Designated Supervisors and Designated Prescribing Practitioners, are confident to provide support and developmental aid to the pharmacy workforce.

No. These programmes are fully funded by NHS England.

The modules in the Educational Supervisor Programme Cover the following topics:

  • Introduction to Educational Supervision
  • Facilitating Learning
  • Giving Effective Feedback
  • Assessing & Monitoring
  • Supporting Trainees

The modules in the Designated Prescribing Practitioners Cover the following topics

  • Introduction to DPP Supervision
  • Facilitating Learning
  • Giving Effective Feedback
  • Assessing & Monitoring
  • Developing as a Designated Prescribing Practitioner

Our blended learning approach is designed to accommodate the demanding schedules of busy healthcare professionals. The programmes are structured into manageable, bite-sized online lessons lasting between 20 to 30 minutes each. This format allows learners to progress at their own pace. Additionally, participants will need to attend two online live workshops, each 2.5 hours long. The entire programme is efficiently paced to ensure completion within 15 hours and learners will have 3 months to complete the programme.

Assessments will include a choice of reflective account, multisource feedback and peer observation of supervision skills

Yes, a certificate will be awarded on successful completion of the programme

Why become a DPP ?

The role of a Designated Prescribing Practitioner is highly rewarding. We’re committed to inspiring more independent prescribers to take on this role and foster the growth of future pharmacist prescribers. Hear firsthand from our DPPs as they share their experiences and insights in this vital position.

Educational Supervisor
Propharmace supervisor training is exactly what I needed. I found it relevant to my job role and it suited my learning needs. The learning modules are concise and easy to put in context. You can undertake the training at your pace considering the trying times (pandemic). The support is readily available. Overall it has enabled me to make a difference to my trainees and improve patient services.
