From 2026, NHS England will pilot a new education and training pathway for newly qualified Early Career Pharmacist (ECP) prescribers. This initiative addresses longstanding inconsistencies in supervision, funding, and training quality across sectors and regions.

We’re inviting employers, supervisors, learners, and partners to be part of this exciting journey.

Register your interest to join the conversation

We will be developing the pathway offer to meet the needs of newly qualified Early Career Pharmacist prescribers and employers, enabling the delivery of high-quality care to patients. Participation will help shape an equitable pathway aligned with service priorities.
