The Structured Training and Experience for Pharmacists (STEP) programme has been running for almost 10 years and is a unique partnership between four major London hospital trusts: King’s College, South London, Guy’s and St Thomas’, and Lewisham. These sites offer a complete range of clinical and technical services necessary to form the cornerstones of all pharmacists’ training. The programme provides competency-based training, education and experience over three years to equip pharmacists with the skills and knowledge to provide the highest quality professional care and progress their careers.
