Health Education England Pharmacy Independent Prescribing.

Descriptions

HEE has a requirement to procure approximately 2000 GPhC accredited Pharmacist Independent Prescribers courses across England as part of an initial 2-year contract. Pharmacist independent prescribing has been identified as an essential aspect of workforce transformation. Courses commissioned through this tender will need to be accredited by the GPhC. However, HEE is keen to attract new entrants into the market to deliver the programme and, where a supplier is working towards accreditation and is part of a partnership with other providers, will consider staggering programme start dates to enable subsequent accreditation as long as the lead provider as a minimum has already secured GPhC accreditation and the unaccredited supplier has achieved accreditation before commencing delivery of their first cohort of the commissioned Independent Prescribing programme. This procurement is being undertaken under the Light Touch Regime.
