    Early career pharmacist pathway
    From Autumn 2026, pharmacists in England will join the register as independent prescribers for the first time. This landmark shift demands a new, coherent, and equitable national approach to early post registration development. In response, NHS England is launching the Pharmacist Enhanced Practice Pathway (PEPP) Pilot, a structured, cross sector offer for newly qualified Early Career Pharmacist prescribers. The PEPP pilot introduces consistent induction, commissioned learning modules, an RPS aligned curriculum, a single e-portfolio, and funded access to educational supervision—addressing long standing variation in training, support and development opportunities across sectors.

    This presentation will describe the design, implementation, and impact of a collaborative nurse–pharmacist frailty pilot delivered within community services in Thurrock. The session will explore how integrating pharmacists into frailty care pathways supports holistic assessments, medication optimisation, and proactive management of complex older adults. Attendees will hear how joint reviews enabled safe deprescribing, reduction in high-risk medicines, and improved patient confidence in medication use, while also delivering financial and environmental benefits through reduced prescribing. The talk will share key lessons on building effective multidisciplinary partnerships, engaging patients in shared decision-making, and scaling neighbourhood models of care. The session will conclude with reflections on how this model can be replicated across integrated care systems to strengthen neighbourhood health and improve outcomes for older people living with frailty.
