GPhC Clinical Fellow Shared Resource

Description

he post in question is a jointly hosted national fellowship. From both a workforce and inclusivity perspective, this role addresses an important gap. Historically, pharmacy technicians have not had equitable access to national leadership development opportunities, such as those available to other registered healthcare professions through programmes including FMLM fellowships. The fellowship is aligned to an Agenda for Change Band 8a level. At present, the Chief Pharmaceutical Officer's team does not have the resource capacity or workforce establishment at this level to undertake the significant programme of work required to support both NHS England policy implementation and regulatory preparedness activity. With approximately 22,000 pharmacy technicians registered in England, my own role is advisory in nature and there are currently no substantive posts focused on leading delivery of this programme of work. Please note this contract is for the period 01/08/2026 - 31/07/2027
