Training Plan
✕
Searching for a compliant training plan the week your trainee starts —
drafting it from scratch using NHS England guidance you are interpreting for the first time
✓
A bespoke NHS England Foundation Training Plan — customised for your training site,
ready to upload before your trainee's first day. No drafting required.
Supervisor Orientation
✕
Beginning the foundation year without formal orientation to your NHS England responsibilities —
accountable for everything, structurally prepared for none of it
✓
Full Designated Supervisor orientation and certification — your NHS England
responsibilities, e-portfolio requirements and governance framework covered before training begins
Weekly Structure
✕
No clear week-by-week structure — trainee and supervisor both uncertain what should
be happening each month and who should be driving it
✓
A complete 52-week week-by-week roadmap — your trainee knows exactly
what they are working on each week. You know exactly what to expect.
No guessing required from either of you.
Portfolio Evidence
✕
Trainee submitting portfolio entries that get returned — both of you spending hours
trying to interpret what each GPhC outcome actually requires
✓
All 55 GPhC learning outcomes decoded with multiple real-world examples —
your trainee knows what to write, you know what to look for.
Portfolio entries meet the standard first time.
Prescribing Pathway
✕
Designing the 90-hour prescribing programme from scratch — uncertain whether it meets
GPhC requirements, uncertain how to document it properly
✓
A complete 90-hour prescribing programme — every session mapped, every
activity structured, every sign-off documented. Compliant from the first session to the last.
Exam Preparation
✕
Trainee sourcing exam preparation resources independently — preparation starting too late,
coverage inconsistent, supervisor unable to assess readiness
✓
Structured exam preparation beginning early in the foundation year —
full Paper 1 and Paper 2 programme, 30+ mock exams and printed revision materials
delivered to your pharmacy
Supervisor Workload
✕
Carrying every foundation year question on top of running a pharmacy —
evenings spent preparing for the next day's supervision instead of recovering from it
✓
Our members report spending less than one hour per week on foundation
training administration. The system runs the programme. You supervise your trainee.
Compliance & Governance
✕
Hoping governance documentation is sufficient if an inspection arrives —
assembling compliance evidence retrospectively under pressure
✓
GPhC and NHS England aligned throughout — training plan, portfolio
framework, prescribing pathway and governance documentation all
inspection-ready from Day One
Professional Support
✕
Facing foundation year challenges without a knowledgeable pharmacist to consult —
navigating alone or searching the internet for answers that may or may not be current
✓
Experienced practising pharmacists available to both you and your trainee
throughout the foundation year — for governance questions, portfolio queries
and prescribing guidance
