Can You Offer Prescribing Supervision to a Community Pharmacist?

Are you ready to shape the future of pharmacy by mentoring the next wave of independent prescribers? If so, join our directory of Designated Prescribing Practitioners (DPPs). Become a DPP and guide community pharmacists pursing their Independent Prescribing qualification. As a DPP, your mentorship will help trainees develop the skills and confidence needed to excel in patient care and support the NHSE national pharmacy workforce expansion plan.

Benefits of Becoming a DPP

  • Visibility and Compensation: Join our NHS England endorsed directory, increasing your visibility to trainees and opening opportunities for compensation (up to £3000 for each trainee).
