What is an NHS Pharmacy Ambassador?
NHS Pharmacy Ambassadors connect the NHS with school children of all ages to explore the breadth of interesting roles available in the pharmacy profession and answering questions about their jobs. They take part in activities such as assemblies, speed networking, career days, and many more, alongside interactive virtual sessions to connect with young people online.
Why take part?
To meet the current and future needs of patients and the public, we need to grow the Pharmacy workforce, ensuring that Pharmacy is seen as an attractive, varied, and dynamic career choice. The programme also supports ambassadors to develop their skills, experience and confidence as advocates for the profession.
The role of the NHS Pharmacy Ambassadors is:
- To raise awareness of pharmacy as a profession and promote pharmacy as a career.
- To stimulate interest in students, school-leavers and job seekers to want to pursue a career in pharmacy.
To showcase the varied roles and impact the profession has on patients and the public
