Developing the next generation of community pharmacists starts locally

Hosting a trainee pharmacist for their foundation training year is one of the most practical and rewarding ways community pharmacies can invest in the future workforce across South Yorkshire. In recent years, the number of trainee placements in the region has fallen, putting pressure on long-term capacity, skills and succession planning.

This page brings together a short video and practical resources to help pharmacy owners and teams understand what’s involved, the support available, and the benefits of becoming a training site. By offering a placement, pharmacies play a vital role in nurturing talent, strengthening teams, and building a sustainable, skilled workforce for the communities we serve.

If you are interested in exploring this further, or would like help and support to become a training site, please get in touch with Community Pharmacy South Yorkshire by emailing info@cpsy.co.uk. We would be delighted to hear from you and support your next steps.
