The Royal Pharmaceutical Society Faculty provides you with a way of identifying what you need to know at different stages of practice, across all sectors, allowing you to advance your professional practice. More importantly the Faculty recognises your development, allowing you to demonstrate to others your level of attainment and stage of development.
The RPS Faculty provides you with support networks, access to experts and mentors across all sectors, and at all stages of your professional careers, alongside opportunities to develop professionally, to build a portfolio of transferable knowledge and skills that is widely recognised.
Available to RPS members who have completed their first two to three years of practice post registration, the Faculty will support you throughout the whole of your career as an advanced practitioner.
We have mapped many of our learning resources to the RPS Advanced Practice Framework below. To find out more about the RPS Faculty please visit The Royal Pharmaceutical Society Faculty or pick a cluster from the list below.
The Royal Pharmaceutical Society Foundation Framework is a professional development programme for those who are in their first 1000 days of practice, members returning to work after a career break, changing their scope of practice or practice environment, and those who are simply working steadily in their practice setting.
The Programme enables pharmacists to gain knowledge, skills and behaviours essential across all sectors and settings, so that they are better equipped to adapt and deliver safe and effective pharmaceutical care.
