College seeks to accredit hospital CPD programmes after CHI praise

The College of Pharmacy Practice is offering accreditation to hospital trust professional development schemes for their pharmacy staff.

Ian Simpson, CPP chief executive, said that he was delighted that the Commission for Health Improvement had said that accreditation of Harrogate Health Care NHS Trust’s pharmacy training programme was one of eight examples of notable practice at the trust worthy of sharing within the trust and more widely across the National Health Service.

The CHI comment was made in a clinical governance review published in February. It described the pharmacy scheme and its accreditation by the CPP as an example of good educational practice.
