Welcome to the Joint Programmes Board (JPB)
The JPB has reformed the education system for pharmacy practitioners. It is a collaborative, between the NHS pharmacy services and the local Schools of Pharmacy, which ensures that the training of pharmacists meets the modern requirements of the NHS to be “fit for practice” in order to provide consistently high quality patient care.
Our Mission Statement
Our job is to improve the quality of patient care by ensuring the supply of pharmacists who are educated, trained and motivated to play their part in a first class modern health service.
We aim to do this in a way that is responsive to the Government's national objectives for health and social care, the local context in which these pharmacists work, and the changing needs and expectations of the patients they serve.
