DPP Connect Celebrates Milestone Collaboration with National Pharmacy Association (NPA)

We are delighted and proud to announce an exciting new chapter for DPP Connect as we become a NPA trusted partner! This marks a significant milestone in our mission to support healthcare professionals to become prescribers.

A Collaboration Built on Shared Values

The NPA is the UK's leading voice for community pharmacy, representing thousands of independent community pharmacies across the country. With a rich history spanning over a century, the NPA provides essential support to community pharmacies to deliver exceptional patient care.

This collaboration brings together two organisations deeply committed to excellence in pharmacy education and practice. By joining forces with the NPA, DPP Connect will enhance its ability to connect pharmacists pursuing their independent prescribing qualifications with experienced Designated Prescribing Practitioners (DPPs).

"We are incredibly proud to work with with the NPA." said Ruhina Kassam, Director of Professional Standards and Quality Assurance at DPP Connect. "This collaboration aligns perfectly with our mission to solve the national DPP shortage, enhance accessibility of prescriber training across the UK, and ensure quality-assured experiences for all students."

Looking Ahead

This collaboration represents just the beginning of an exciting and productive relationship. Together, DPP Connect and the NPA will work to address the growing demand for independent prescribing pharmacists and ensure that the learning in practice phase of their qualification is supported by experienced mentors.

We look forward to sharing more developments from this exciting collaboration in the coming months!
