Step-Up to Supervising Pharmacist

TUTOR-DIRECTED ONLINE WORKSHOP

The IPU Step-Up to Supervising Pharmacist course has been designed to help prepare pharmacists for the transition to Supervising Pharmacist. The course will give a grounding in your legal and professional responsibilities to the regulator and those under the HSE contract. It will equip pharmacists with the knowledge required to carry out the role and assist them in building strong relationships with their Superintendents and Owners. Classes of fellow pharmacists will provide a forum to discuss and work through concerns that you may have about moving into the role. Recommended for pharmacists with 1-2 years post-reg experience, those returning to the profession or those who have recently joined the register from another country.
