NHS 111 Transition Programme
This was published when the organisation was the Royal Pharmaceutical Society.
We’ve partnered with the NHS 111 service in Wales to support every pharmacist joining them.
This means providing structured workplace-based learning, support and feedback, enabling you to become confident and competent practitioners in this practice area.
What is NHS 111?
NHS 111 combines NHS Direct Wales and the GP out-of-hours service to ensure calls are quickly triaged and passed to the right person or team.
Medication queries and common ailments are passed directly to a pharmacist, so they can use their clinical skills and knowledge to advise on appropriate treatment or next steps.
