Heiw Pharmacy Deanery - Formerly Wcppe

Wales Centre for Pharmacy Professional Education (WCPPE)

WCPPE is an operational unit of the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Cardiff University and has three main areas of activity:

The main programme – live events, a range of distance learning packs and e-Learning resources. This is funded by the Welsh Government, under the guidance of the Training and Education Sub Committee (TESC) of the Welsh Pharmaceutical Committee (WPhC).

The pre-registration programme – delivering the residential training element for trainees across secondary care sites in Wales and support for tutor development. This is funded under contract from the Workforce Education and Developments Services (WEDS).

Work based competency training – as a City and Guilds Approved Centre, delivering Pharmacy Service Skills programmes (via modern apprenticeships) and Training Assessment Quality Assurance qualifications.

The WCPPE portfolio is open to all registered pharmacists, pharmacy technicians and support staff living or providing NHS pharmacy services in Wales. It is also open to pre-registration trainee pharmacists working in Wales.
