Foundation Training Year Recruitment 26-27
Employer Information
Major changes to how Foundation Trainees are recruited into Community Pharmacies will come into effect for the 2627 cohort onwards. An interview process will be facilitated by NICPLD and trainees matched with community pharmacy and trust placements.
A Task & Finish Group of stakeholders has been established by DoH including UCA-NI, NICPLD, Trusts, etc. The group has been working tirelessly to achieve a workable solution to joint / regional recruitment into FTY 2627+.
For more information on the FTY process for 2627, visit the FTY Hub pages here: www.nicpld.org
If you have any questions about the process development or the Task & Finish Group, or would like to discuss the options, please contact adrienne@ucani.co.uk
UCA-NI Community Pharmacy Management Programme for FTY25-26
UCA-NI can support you and your Foundation Trainee with a Community Pharmacy Management Programme tailored specifically for Community Pharmacy requirements.
The UCA-NI programme is practical, informative and complementary to the NICPLD programme.
Training will be delivered through 2 in-person days at a Belfast location plus a Vaccination Training session delivered in either Belfast or Limavady.
The programme will be delivered within the 6-month Community placement period and will be run twice annually. More details will be forwarded to pharmacies in due course.
To express your interest in enrolling your incoming Foundation Trainee onto the UCA-NI programme submit your information on the form below.
ACCESSNI ENHANCED CHECK REQUIRED FOR FOUNDATION TRAINEES
Under the FTY Framework for 2526, employers are required to apply for an AccessNI Enhanced Disclosure Certificate. UCA-NI is now an Umbrella Body, able to assist pharmacies who require it (orgs with less than 20 AccessNI applications per year must use an Umbrella Body). The fee charged by UCA-NI will include the AccessNI Certificate Fee. The UCA admin fee will be covered for those Trainees enrolled on the UCA-NI programme.
