Welcome to the NPPG Special Interest Group for Pharmacy Technicians working in Paediatric care or with a special interest in Paediatrics.

The purpose of the group is to enhance the role of paediatric pharmacy technicians by promoting collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and practical support, ensuring pharmacy teams can provide safe, effective, and high-quality care for children and young people across diverse healthcare settings.

Once we have boosted membership, we will reach out again to find out from you what you would like to see and gain from study days.

Those interested in becoming members of the subgroup will need to request access via the NHS Network website –Home – NHS Networks.

Please feel free to use the discussion board to post anything you would like to discuss or share with your peers. You could even request for support with a peer discussion as part of your annual GPhC revalidation.

We hope you find membership rewarding, and we are excited to see where our group takes us.

Thanks and look forward to hearing from you.
