Early Career Pharmacists
The Pharmaceutical Society of New Zealand “are committed to ensuring that Early Career Pharmacists are empowered, have strong representation and adequate support to continually develop their practice and ensure a sustainable career.” Building Blocks Report, July 2020
Through consultation with our ECP representatives, we have listened to the needs of our ECPs, creating the Early Career Support Course, for our members who have been in the profession for less than 10 years. The resources supplied in this course will not only enhance their career but to also support them as they begin this journey of a registered pharmacist.
It is evident that the ECPs want to be supported in knowledge and tangible ways to progress their career, in particular in the first few years of being a pharmacist. The proposed resources have been identified as areas that would support ECPs and are needed to be able to help advance their profession, develop new skills, gain confidence in leadership and connect with their community and peers.
