Foundation training grant ( Pre- Reg ) to community pharmacy

For the attention of all community pharmacy contractors with a foundation trainee pharmacist (formerly pre-registration pharmacist) for the 2023-2024 training year

To facilitate a more streamlined procedure for payment of the foundation training grant (formerly pre-registration grant), NHS England is working with NHSBSA to implement an electronic registration process via the Manage Your Service (MYS) portal. This new process, which will replace the current locally managed application process, is in the testing phase and is due to be launched in September.

Please note: Training grant applications will only be actioned via the NHSBSA MYS portal from September 2023. Full details on how to register for training grant payments via this new process will be provided in due course.

Payments will be made monthly in arrears, with the first payment covering any months between the time the employer applies for the grant and the time the trainee began their training. Full details on how to register for training grant payments via this new process will be provided in due course.

Until the MYS functionality is live, please do not send any training grant applications via email to Integrated Care Boards or the email addresses below, as these will not be actioned.

If you have any further national questions, please contact: traineepharmacist@hee.nhs.uk.

If you have questions relating to the 2022/23 foundation training grant (formerly pre-registration grant) or any regional queries, please contact the NHS England Workforce, Training and Education London regional team: Pharmacy.london@hee.nhs.uk

Thank you for sharing this information widely via your channels.
