SUMMARY:The BOPA Advanced Pharmacist Study Day
DESCRIPTION:🌟 BOPA Advanced Pharmacist Study Day – Elevate Your Practice\, Shape Your Career \nAre you an oncology or haematology pharmacist with around five or more years of experience — whether Band 7 or Band 8 — and ready to take the next step in your professional development? The BOPA Advanced Pharmacist Study Day is designed exactly for you. \nThis focused\, practical\, and inspiring day explores what it truly means to work at an advanced level of practice\, helping you understand your career options\, strengthen your portfolio\, and build confidence in the areas that matter most. \n🎯 What the Study Day Is About \nThis isn’t an introductory course. It’s a space for established pharmacists to: \n\nReflect on their development\nUnderstand advanced practice pathways\nLearn from experts and peers who have been there\n\nThe day was originally created in response to the many questions pharmacists had about the Consultant Pharmacist pathway. But we recognised something important: 👉 Not everyone wants — or needs — to become a consultant pharmacist to work at an advanced level. So this study day now supports both routes\, helping you identify the path that fits your goals. \n📌 What You’ll Learn \n1. Advanced vs Consultant Pharmacist Pathways \nLed by Joseph Oakley (RPS)\, this session breaks down: \n\nWhat “advanced practice” really means\nHow the Consultant Pharmacist pathway works\nWhat evidence you need — and how to gather it\nHow to choose the route that aligns with your ambitions\n\n2. Real‑World Insights from a Newly Credentialed Advanced Pharmacist \nHear directly from someone who has recently completed the Advanced Pharmacist pathway. They’ll share: \n\nWhat worked well\nWhat they wish they’d known earlier\nHow the process has shaped their career\nTips for building a strong\, authentic portfolio\n\n3. Research Skills for Advanced Practice \nResearch is consistently one of the most challenging pillars for candidates. That’s why Tiffany Chan (BOPA Research Committee) and Vanya Slavova-Boneva will run a session on Advancing practice in Geriatric Oncology: The Pharmacist’s role in clinical care\, research\, and education – delivered by Tiffany Chan and Vanya Slavova-Boneva \n  \nThis session is always a highlight. \n  \n4. Non‑Medical Prescribing: Pathways & Practice \nA practical\, honest look at: \n\nRoutes into non‑medical prescribing\nWhat NMP clinics look like in real practice\nChallenges in setting up NMP clinics\nHow prescribing can expand your scope and autonomy\n\nDelivered by pharmacists actively running NMP clinics. \n5. Mental Health & Wellbeing for Healthcare Professionals \nA much‑loved session that focuses on you — the person behind the professional. This reflective and restorative session explores: \n\nPractical strategies to support your mental health\nTools you can take home and use immediately\nHow to maintain wellbeing in a high‑pressure specialty\nWays to build resilience and protect your energy\n\nIt’s consistently praised for being grounding\, compassionate\, and deeply relevant to today’s workforce. \n🌱 Why Attend? \nYou’ll leave with: \n\nA clear understanding of advanced practice and consultant pathways\nPractical tools to strengthen your portfolio\nRenewed confidence in your professional development\nA network of peers on the same journey\n\nThis day is ideal for pharmacists who are ready to grow\, reflect\, and shape the next stage of their career — whether or not consultant-level practice is your destination. \n\nWHEN: Wednesday 10th June 2026\nWHERE:  Wellcome Collection\, 183 Euston Road\, London\, NW1 BE\nCOST: A non-refundable payment of £25.00. \nThis event is sponsored by Lilly Pharmaceuticals and run by BOPA Education and Training Subcommittee
