The five page policy sets out guidelines to join the Pharmacist register on a temporary basis. It also includes requirements for employers to put in place to support provisionally registered pharmacists.  Pre-registration pharmacist trainees that meet criteria can apply from July and begin to join the register from 1 August and strengthen the Pharmacy Workforce.
