The Funded Pharmacy Undergraduate Placement Programme (FPUPP) provides clinical experiences for undergraduate student pharmacists studying in Wales.
Overview of the FPUPP
The annual expression of interest (EOI) process is now open for the 2024/25 academic year.
To submit an EOI for the FPUPP, please click here to complete the EOI form by 24/05/2024
The revised EOI process is outlined below:
We will contact all community pharmacies, GP practices, and Health Boards in the Spring to initiate the EOI process for 2024/25. If you are interested in becoming involved in the FPUPP programme and you work for a multiple community pharmacy organisation, we advise you to contact your central management team before submitting an EOI.
The HEIs will endeavour to allocate students to quality assured sites across Wales. However, HEIs cannot guarantee that all sites will receive students.
No.
Any registered healthcare professional who holds relevant clinical skills and knowledge of the training requirements for pharmacists will be considered for the role.
Annual training is provided to all placement supervisors, including a placement supervisor handbook. Students will be provided with a student manual to work through during their placements.
The IETP standards include 55 learning outcomes, all of which must be achieved by the end of a trainee pharmacists’ foundation training. However, 16 of these learning outcomes must be demonstrated at the ‘Does’ level of Miller’s triangle by the end of a student’s MPharm degree. The FPUPP supports students in achieving these 16 learning outcomes through experiential learning placements.
Host organisations are paid directly by the HEIs and must invoice the applicable HEI directly for payment, following HMRC guidance.
