This programme has been designed to meet the specific needs for further development of pharmacy clinical professionals. It is the only BTEC programme offering an academically recognised award in pharmacy clinical services within the UK.
This programme is designed to fit in with your needs, circumstances and your career aspirations by providing education and training through a mixed approach to the learning experience. You will be working in a clinical pharmacy environment in Primary Care, Secondary Care or Community Pharmacy (other pharmacy sectors will be considered).

Our Students Say
The knowledge I gained from [this course] was instrumental for me when taking on a new promoted post. I would not have had the confidence to develop and take this role forward as a Pharmacy Technician if it had not been for this course.
