Modernising Pharmacy Careers (MPC) is a complex programme designed to ensure the pharmacy workforce has the knowledge, skills and capacity to deliver the services of the future for patients and the public. The MPC Programme Board provides advice to Medical Education England (MEE) and the Department of Health (DH) on pharmacy education, training and national workforce planning.

There are three workstreams within the MPC programme:

Work Stream I – Education and Training (Pre-Qualification)

Work Stream II – Developing Pharmacy Careers (Post Qualification)

Work Stream III – Workforce planning, new technologies and new ways of working

In June 2011 UKCPA were invited to give evidence to the MPC Workstream II panel.  Our key messages can be seen here.

We will also be providing MPC II with written evidence later in 2011.
