In this NES Pharmacy Podcast series, we explore the exciting reforms to the Pharmacist Foundation Training Year (FTY) in Scotland. This series discusses the practical aspects of these changes and their impact on various roles within the FTY programme. 

 

In this third episode, we welcome pharmacists, Caroline Souter and Isla Cubitt, who are involved in the Lothian hospital training programme. They will provide some insight into the planning for their FTY programme and how they are preparing for the 2025-26 cohort. They discuss their plans for supervising and supporting their Trainee Pharmacists throughout the 2025-26 FTY year.

There are some terms discussed within the podcast which we want to define to clarify what these are:

Longitudinal Placement - A hospital training programme often involves trainee pharmacists rotating through various specialities. Lothian have piloted the inclusion of some longer placements in a single area within their programme, to allow trainee pharmacists to spend more time focussing on a single area, supported by the same team.
