Following the introduction of competence-based training and assessment for preregistration programmes which commenced after June, 1993, all pharmacists intending to act as preregistration tutors are required by resolution of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society's Council to attend a one-day tutor training seminar about the Society's preregistration training programme. Prospective tutors should note that attendance at such a seminar is a prerequisite for the commencement of a preregistration trainee's training and that attendance at a seminar prior to 1993 does not obviate the need for attendance in 2000.
Anyone who has attended a seminar since 1993 but who has not tutored a preregistration trainee in the past 3 years must attend another seminar before his/her trainee commences their training.
Anyone who has taken over the duties of a preregistration tutor and who has not yet attended a seminar must attend the next available seminar. Training seminars will be held on: Tuesday, January 18 Manchester, Monday, January 31 London.
Anyone who needs to attend should call the Society's Education Division on 020 7 735 9141 extension 375 for further details and a registration form.
PLEASE NOTE: The winter seminars are not for pharmacists who are expecting to take on a preregistration trainee commencing in summer 2000. Seminars for new tutors run throughout the summer months and will be advertised in The Pharmaceutical Journal from March onwards.
