Frequently Asked Questions

A Designated Supervisor (DS) is responsible for the day-to-day supervision of a foundation trainee pharmacist within the training site. A Designated Prescribing Practitioner (DPP) is the qualified prescriber responsible for supervising the trainee's independent prescribing component over the 90-hour requirement. In many community pharmacies, the same individual may fulfil both roles.
Yes — the Foundation Year Mastery Package is designed for both community pharmacies and hospital trusts. The governance system and DPP session mapping are aligned with both GPhC standards and NHS England requirements, making it suitable for all foundation training settings.
The 90-hour DPP requirement refers to the supervised prescribing experience that foundation trainee pharmacists must complete as part of their training year. The 90-Hour DPP Playbook maps every session and activity across these 90 hours so your trainee builds evidence, develops prescribing confidence, and is ready for independent practice.
All programmes are available individually — the Designated Supervisor Training, the 52-Week Foundation Training Plan and the DPP Playbook can each be purchased on their own. The Foundation Year Mastery Package bundles everything together at the best value, but individual programmes are available if you only need a specific element.
Digital access is instant. The printed and personalised plan is prepared with bespoke setup and customisation — delivery timelines will be confirmed at the point of purchase. We recommend ordering in advance of your trainee's start date to allow time for personalisation.
