Each FP1 pharmacist has an Educational Supervisor (ES) to provide support and advice during their workplace experiential learning.
The ES must be a senior pharmacist with a minimum of 3 years’ post-registration experience in pharmacy. They must have completed the NICPLD ‘Effective mentoring’ online course prior to mentoring an FP1 pharmacist:

During their workplace experiential learning, ESs may need to discuss case-based discussions with the FP1 pharmacist. The Case-based discussion (CbD) video provides an example of how a CbD could be conducted:
