Preregistration Pharmacist Training Course Information

The Buttercups Training preregistration programmes can be tailored to meet your preregistration pharmacists' needs. We can provide anything from a half day session on a particular topic to a comprehensive programme delivered over 10 months.

The programmes are written and delivered by an experienced team of pharmacists who understand the pressures of the preregistration year and the importance of not only passing the registration exams but also developing the responsible and professional attitude expected of a registered pharmacist.

"The course content was superb! Every aspect of the course materials was excellent. Hannah was an excellent tutor in every aspect. I really enjoyed and got loads out of each session. The notes and calculations were very useful."
- Vasilios Diamantios

"We covered a thorough overview of all topics needed for the exam, identified relevant areas and points that may not have otherwise been brought to my attention. The course was delivered in a way that was relevant and easy to understand and we were able to go back over any points that caused confusion. We had a very approachable tutor - both during the study days and in between and so provided a useful resource. The tutor had an excellent knowledge of all subjects. I was able to answer a question I came across in a past paper."
- Hannah Almond

"Good range of the syllabus covered; very helpful! Hannah is a very approachable and highly motivated teacher. It has been a pleasure to be taught by such an enthusiastic and dedicated pharmacist. Definitely recommend Buttercups Training!! Thank you very much."
