CPPE to be scrutinised in independent evaluation

The Centre for Pharmacy Postgraduate Education is to be evaluated by the University of Birmingham's school of education to ensure that it is continuing to meet the needs of the NHS and the pharmacy workforce.

The university has been commissioned by the Department of Health to undertake the independent evaluation, the findings from which will inform recommendations made by an expert advisory group, chaired by Keith Ridge, England’s chief pharmaceutical officer, to the DoH later this year. As part of the study, pharmacists and registered pharmacy technicians will be contacted and asked to take part in an electronic survey and telephone interview.
