Start safely in general practice
Learn the workflow, governance, documentation and escalation habits that make a safe first weeks in a GP practice.
Primary care pharmacist training built around the real GP-practice workload
Build confidence in medication reviews, clinical coding, correspondence, consultations and safe escalation through interactive modules and fictional-patient simulations.
Who it is for
Practical development for primary care
This pathway is for registered pharmacists moving into, or developing within, general practice and primary care network roles. It supports practical workplace development alongside local induction, supervision and any commissioned training you are required to complete.
What you will develop
Skills that transfer into the working day
Practise clinical decisions
Work through realistic medication reviews, results, letters and patient calls before those decisions affect a real patient.
Develop by level
Progress from Foundation through Practitioner and Advanced Practice, choosing learning that matches your role and agreed scope.
Keep evidence of development
Record completed learning, reflections and simulated performance for your own CPD, appraisal and supervision discussions.
How it works
Learn, practise, reflect and apply
Online simulation supports development; it does not replace employer induction, supervision or local competency decisions.
Step 1
Check your starting point
Use the free skills check to identify strengths and development priorities.
Step 2
Learn the task
Short, interactive modules explain the reasoning, workflow and model documentation.
Step 3
Practise in simulation
Apply the learning to fictional patients and receive immediate, specific feedback.
Step 4
Review with a supervisor
Use your results to agree scope, actions and further workplace observation.
Important distinction
Independent training that complements formal pathways
Medicine in Practice is an independent provider. It is not commissioned, accredited or endorsed by NHS England, CPPE, the GPhC or another regulator. Completion is not a qualification or authority to work beyond your competence.
