Trainee pharmacists: sign up to the ACTNow wellbeing campaign

The PDA is once again encouraging all trainee pharmacists to join Pharmacist Support’s ACTNow campaign, which is running from 22 – 26 May. The campaign aims to encourage trainees to prioritise their wellbeing, especially in the run-up to the assessment.

Sun 21st May 2023 The PDA

The trainee pharmacist campaign this year focuses on helping the cohort to feel mentally prepared for the assessment, aiming to get them ready for life as a fully qualified pharmacist, and encouraging them to put everyday wellbeing into practice.

Throughout the week, trainees who sign up will receive free, dedicated, and exclusive Pharmacist Support wellbeing information and practical material specifically for trainee pharmacists. This includes access to the PDA and Pharmacists Support’s joint workshop titled ‘Get mentally prepared for the assessment’.
