Band 2 - Pre-Reg Trainee Pharmacy Technician

Pharmacy Technicians are vital members of the pharmacy team and contribute greatly to today's

NHS healthcare team. The role of a Pharmacy Technician is becoming more varied and complex as

medicines become increasingly sophisticated. Career opportunities for a Pharmacy Technician post

qualification include, medicines management roles, manufacturing, quality control, staff training,

information technology, supplies procurement, clinical trials or medicines information services and

managing staff and sections within the Pharmacy Department.

Pharmacy Technicians are involved in the preparation, dispensing and supply of medicines to wards,

departments and directly to patients. They support Pharmacists in providing safe and effective drug

treatment for all our patients.

Pharmacy Technicians need to be able to work in a systematic and accurate manner and to have

good numeracy skills. They also need to be able to communicate well with people. Previous

experience in a pharmacy or other health care setting would be desirable but is not essential.

Strong organisational and time management skills are essential to ensure the successful

achievement of the Diploma whilst working under the supervision of a Pharmacist.
