Education and training is a key priority of the pharmacy department with over 20 trainees rotating through various areas within pharmacy and the Trust. The education and training team is committed to delivering high quality education and training and strives to offer innovative ways to produce highly skilled pharmacy staff who provide excellent healthcare and health improvements for our patients.
We currently take part in the steering groups for the 5 year MPharm as well as acting as a pilot site for Integrated Training for Pre-Registration Pharmacy Technicians. We also offer the Level 2 Pharmacy Services Assistant Apprenticeship for those looking to pursue a career in pharmacy.
We currently offer 7 TP positions at North Middlesex University Hospital. 6 of the positions are full-time, and 1 is a split programme between NMUH and a local GP partnership. In addition, we also have 2 further TP positions, where TPs spend their time rotating between North Mid and Barnet, Enfield and Haringey Mental Health NHS Trust.
From 2025, we will be offering only 4 TP positions at North Middlesex University Hospital, all of which will include a 13 week placement at Haringey GP Federation.
For more information on the TP program, please contact Sim (Lead Pharmacist for Education and Training) on samita.nathoo@nhs.net
Please note: TP recruitment is a national process via the Oriel system: https://www.oriel.nhs.uk and we are unable to offer any training places outside of this route.
We currently offer 8 full-time PTPT positions who will work towards obtaining the BTEC Level 3 Diploma in the Principles and Practice for Pharmacy Technicians qualification and will rotate through various services within the North Mid pharmacy department as well as cross sector into community pharmacy and care homes within the local area.
We are proud to be a part of the Health Education England (HEE) National PTPT Integrated Training pilot having secured one of the 48 funded places nationally. This will enable us to develop PTPTs with a broader skillset, allowing them to better support service delivery to patients and the public across all healthcare systems and sectors.
We currently undertake a selection process to host two MPharm 3 students, for a voluntary four-week placement over the summer period. This placement provides the selected candidate with an insight in hospital pharmacy and secondary care.
