Pharmacist Enhanced Practice Pathway Pilot

Shared on behalf of NHSE NEY Pharmacy Workforce Education and Training

Get ready to join the Pharmacist Enhanced Practice Pathway pilot

Newly qualified, early career pharmacist prescribers in their first year of post-registration practice, can register to join the Pharmacist Enhanced Practice Pathway (PEPP) pilot from 1 September 2026.

To find out more visit the CPPE website.

What is the Pharmacist Enhanced Practice Pathway pilot

NHS England is working collaboratively with the Centre for Pharmacy Postgraduate Education (CPPE) and the Royal College of Pharmacy to develop a new education and training pathway for newly qualified, early career pharmacist prescribers, registering from summer 2026. The Pharmacist Enhanced Practice Pathway aims to create consistent and equitable training and support for newly qualified, early career pharmacist prescribers across all sectors in patient-facing roles.

What is involved

Delivered by CPPE, the Pharmacist Enhanced Practice Pathway offers access to NHS England funded learning modules, workshops and education support for up to 1,200 learners across all sectors. This includes 900 places for learners with employer-provided educational supervision and up to 300 CPPE-supported places for learners without access to an educational supervisor in their workplace. Learners enrolling on the pathway will also gain access to an e-portfolio mapped to the Royal College of Pharmacy Enhanced Curriculum.

Learners, supervisors and employers involved in the pilot will also be invited to help shape future pathways. We have commissioned The University of Manchester Centre for Pharmacy Workforce Studies to undertake an evaluation of the pilot pathway, beginning in September 2026. The evaluation will include capturing feedback from those involved.

How to apply

Applications to the Pharmacist Enhanced Practice Pathway pilot open on 1 September 2026. To find out more visit the CPPE website.

There will be another opportunity to apply in January 2027.
