Preregistration training

Tutors need an incentive to teach well

From Mr R. Firfirey

I have read that pharmacies receive a grant in excess of £16,000 for each preregistration trainee they have (PJ, 5 March, p262). I believe that this figure should be decreased and a bonus lump sum should be given upon the trainee gaining a satisfactory report at the end of his or her training period.

Some tutors and companies could put in a lot more effort into developing their preregistration trainees and increasing their competence, and there needs to be some kind of incentive to encourage a more active role in trainee’s training and development.
