Reminder: inspectors’ talks for preregistration trainees

This year’s series of informal presentations for preregistration trainees given by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society’s professional standards inspectors begins on Monday 10 October with a session in Cheshire.

The half-day presentation takes place from 9.30am to 12.30pm at Leighton Hospital, Middlewich Road, Crewe, and will be given by Steven Gascoigne, the inspector for that area. Advance booking is not necessary. The venue is about four miles from Crewe railway station, from which buses run frequently. The hospital has a car park. Trainees should report to the hospital pharmacy for directions to the conference room.

The remaining 30 or so presentations will be given in the new year at a range of venues across Britain. The aim of the programme is to give trainees an understanding of the support available to pharmacists from the inspectors and from the Society’s directorate responsible for legal affairs and pharmacists’ fitness to practise.

The sessions are open to all preregistration trainees, who may attend the presentation of their own choice.

There is no charge for attendance, but any travel costs will have to be met by the trainee or by his or her employer. Details of all the remaining presentations will be sent to preregistration trainees and tutors later in the year and will also be placed on the preregistration training page of the Society’s website.
