Consultant Pharmacists
Credentialing as a consultant-ready pharmacist
The Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) Consultant Pharmacist credentialing process will help you to understand the requirements to enter consultant-level pharmacy practice in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
It sets out the entry-level knowledge, skills, behaviours and levels of performance expected of consultant pharmacists. These form the basis of the assessment, which you will be credentialed against.
If you successfully complete the consultant pharmacist credentialing process, you'll be eligible to take an approved consultant pharmacist post.
Overview of the credentialing process
Consultant pharmacist credentialing is available to all pharmacists practising in patient-focussed roles i.e. pharmacists whose roles have a direct influence on the care of individual patients and/or patient populations.
The consultant pharmacist credentialing process is open to all pharmacists, both members and non-members of the RPS.
