Oriel Registration for Trainee Pharmacists - July 2023 Start
A national recruitment and selection scheme for foundation trainee pharmacist programmes, utilising the Oriel IT platform, was adopted by Health Education England in 2017 and since then it has been used for foundation trainee pharmacist recruitment. Oriel has been used for the recruitment of dentists, doctors and healthcare scientists for many years and for pharmacy recruitment for the last 5 years.
Applicants to the scheme are required to complete one application form for foundation training and to preference foundation training programmes they wish to be considered for, as part of the recruitment process. The Oriel IT platform allows all training sites to equally advertise the unique qualities of their training programme(s) to attract applicants to preference them as part of their application.
A letter from Health Education England (HEE) has been published which includes full details on the actions required to participate in the scheme. Read the letter here.
