FIP Development Goal 2 Workforce Element

Globally, we will have:

Foundation training infrastructures in place for the early post-registration (post-licensing) years of the pharmaceutical workforce as a basis for consolidating initial education and training and progressing the novice workforce towards advanced practice.

Mechanisms

  • Create clear and purposeful education and training pathways/programmes to support post-registration (post-graduation) foundation training (clinical practice and pharmaceutical science areas).
  • Develop early career maps and frameworks to support a seamless transition into early career practice and towards advanced practice.
  • Develop structured approaches to early career mentoring systems to support novice practitioners to engage with peers and preceptors (including clinical practice and pharmaceutical science areas across the pharmaceutical workforce).
  • Using data and evidence to support investment in early career training.
