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’.
