To celebrate National Apprenticeship Week, I wanted to share my own story. My name is Alex, and I work in the Funding Team here at Buttercups Training.

Despite financial setbacks and ongoing uncertainty across the sector, 2017 saw the community pharmacy network deliver over 1 million flu vaccinations within two months of the service going live.

Buttercups is committed to implementing policies that eliminate discrimination and promote diversity for our workplace and also for our learners.

Christmas and new year celebrations are a distant memory and those commitments or resolutions that we may have made may well have started to fade away.

GPhC recently announced plans for revalidation to replace the current system of CPD for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians which will form part of the annual renewal process from 2018 but many are asking, what is revalidation?

As we come to the end of the year, it’s a good chance to reflect on the past 12 months, which seems to have gone in the blink of an eye!

We are delighted to announce that Buttercups House is now officially the home of Buttercups Training.

Pre-registration trainees can now benefit even more from our tried and trusted brand of training.

This week we have all been repulsed by the horror of the Manchester attack.

The government has released further information about how the apprenticeship levy will work in practice. For an overview of the apprenticeship levy, please read our previous blog post here.
