Overview

With the continued evolution of healthcare and the advent of pharmacist prescribers, there are more opportunities for pharmacy technicians to support in more advanced roles.

Key Features

The Advanced Pharmacy Technician Practice programme offered by University of East Anglia which was developed with stakeholders from across pharmacy is aimed at pharmacy technicians working in a clinical environment who wish to develop their knowledge and practice and prepare for these enhanced and advanced roles.

The programme is made up of nine modules delivered over four years part time and designed to enable you to explore the subject areas within your own environment, therefore, individual to your own sector and setting. In year one, you will study the principles and knowledge that underpin the work of registered pharmacy technicians and at the same time develop further your experience and competence in both professional and safe clinical practice.

Year two will builds on existing knowledge of clinical therapeutics. In year three, along with more clinical therapeutics you will be introduced to research and learn the fundamental skills to start you on the research journey. Finally, in year four, there will be further clinical therapeutics and a research project of your own choice to undertake.
