Foundation Training
The Head Start Programme
The Head Start programme comprises a series of six online webinars, accompanying guides, and resources, taught by our expert team of trainers. It supports trainees and supervisors to ensure that the transition from pharmacy student to Foundation training is as seamless as possible.
