Community Pharmacy Technician Apprenticeship Programme (CPTAP) 2025, is an initiative by NHS England to bolster the community pharmacy workforce. The program offers £15,053 per trainee annually for two years to support pharmacies in training pre-registration trainee pharmacy technicians (PTPTs), enabling them to become registered pharmacy technicians. Community Pharmacy England has announced the launch of this program, detailing the funding opportunities and application process, which requires pharmacies to submit an online expression of interest by June 15, 2025. Participating contractors are responsible for recruiting PTPTs, providing comprehensive workplace training, and ensuring adequate supervision by designated educational and practice supervisors. The program aims to align with General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) standards for pharmacy technicians, promoting the expansion of clinical services within community pharmacies.https://cpe.org.uk/our-news/funding-for-community-pharmacy-technician-apprenticeship-programme-2025/
