Interview with the founder of the newly formed Pre-registration and Newly Qualified Pharmacist Association

Pharmacy In Practice Podcast

Jasraj S Matharu is the founder of the Pre-registration and Newly Qualified Pharmacist Association (PNPA). He is currently a pre-registration student and has become involved with the Pharmacist Defence Association (PDA) as a union representative.

I caught up with Jas to discuss the rapidly changing landscape for pre-registration pharmacists this year in light of the COVID-19 crisis. This has been a tough year for pre-registration students so it was important to cover some of the issues that they faced.

Since we recorded this interview the GPhC have published guidance outlining the provisional registration of pre-registration pharmacists.

The PNPA is an independent network for young pharmacy professionals. This group enables young pharmacy professionals to network, discuss and tackle key challenges and issues we are currently facing. Click here to find out more.
