GP / Community 6-month Split Pre-registration Placements 2021/22
Imaan Healthcare pharmacies, a 40 pharmacy chain belonging to the Imaan Healthcare group, is not your typical community pharmacy chain. Our exceptional cross-sector Pre-registration programme has been developed over a number of years and is nationally recognised for its quality and support. As a result, Imaan Healthcare pharmacies have produced fantastically talented pharmacists who have gone on to have incredibly varied careers in GP Practice, independent prescribing, hospital, the GPhC, international industry, mental health, NHS Health Education England, training & education – and of course in community pharmacy as owners, business partners and managers. Imaan Healthcare pharmacies have trained over 200 pharmacists and have a pass rate consistently above the national average.
Our unique Pre-registration Pharmacist training programme produced a C&D National Pre-registration Graduate of the Year (Siraaj Bukera – click here to read his story ), the first winner of the Buttercups National Pre-registration Student of the Year (Daniel Jones) and also the youngest ever GPhC inspector (Craig Whitelock-Wainwright). Imaan Healthcare pharmacies utilises the new Pioneer Primary Care Training programme to get you exam ready, covering exam preparation, clinical topics, consultation skills, law & ethics, first aid, calculations and professional development. You will receive training in pharmacy business, economics, management and leadership. The Pioneer programme has been developed by award-winning pharmacists, clinical GP pharmacists and a calculations specialist. You will also be given protected study time every week.
Whilst working onsite, you will be given a dedicated tutor and will learn to adopt the roles and responsibilities of your supervising pharmacist. During your General Practice placement you will learn how to work as GP pharmacist, you will conduct clinical medication reviews, run clinics and lots of other clinical activities. During your community placement you will be given the opportunity to take the lead in providing services including smoking cessation, substance misuse, flu vaccinations, blood pressure testing, blood glucose monitoring, health promotion campaigns and much more.
Depending on your location you will also be given the opportunity to experience working at our head office and with area managers. Once you qualify we will continue to support you throughout your career and help you choose the career path most suited to you. Some of our ex-pre-regs are now our business partners.
Crucially, despite the high standards we set our pre-registration trainees throughout the year, we have gained an excellent reputation for producing a warm and welcoming learning environment, described by many trainees as being like a supportive family.
Imaan Healthcare aims to provide GP Practice placements for all trainees. In most cases this will be for 6 months.
Imaan Healthcare works closely with a number of universities and NHS Health Education England to help develop policies, degree course structure and improve student employability.
