Pre-reg training 2017-18 Kamsons Pharmacy is a family-owned chain of over 50 pharmacies. We have run our established pre-reg training programme for over ten years and will be recruiting around 20 pharmacy graduates this year with vacancies available at selected Kamsons Pharmacy branches in Sussex, London, Surrey, Kent, Luton, Leeds & Manchester to commence in Aug17. Chemist & Druggist article 16th October 2015: “Kamsons Pharmacy tops the results with a 100% pass rate… The General Pharmaceutical Council has released the pre-registration pass rates for the 11 largest community pharmacy training providers in Great Britain.

This excellent pass rate was not a one-off. In summer 2014, 94% of Kamsons pre-regs passed the GPhC Registration exam on their first attempt. The national pass rate was 85% in June 2014 and only 74% in June 2015. How does Kamsons have such a good pass rate? We do not concentrate on the exam but on our holistic training programme. We work closely with Health Education Kent, Surrey & Sussex to provide joint training for our pre-regs with hospital pre-regs, to offer some cross-sector placements in GP surgeries and in hospital pharmacies and to train many of our tutors. We take pride in having a nurturing and caring environment. Our aim is to recruit candidates who will be good community pharmacists, not those who are just good at passing exams. What do our past pre-regs say? Our main focus is on ensuring that our pre-regs have a beneficial year. In an anonymous online survey of 70 ex-Kamsons pre-regs, 93% would recommend Kamsons Pharmacy to a student looking for a place. 90% said that their pre-reg year was extremely or very effective at preparing them to become a pharmacist. What happens after the pre-reg year? The vast majority of our ex-pre-regs continue to work in our pharmacies as locums, relief pharmacists or pharmacist managers. However, there is no obligation to work for us afterwards. Nearly half of our pharmacist managers are our ex-pre-regs.

Pictured left are Anjalee, Pavitra (qualified 2015) & Raggy (qualified 2014) who all undertook their pre-registration training with Kamsons Pharmacy. They are now running INR clinics in London, testing anticoagulant patients & adjusting their dose of warfarin.
At Kamsons Pharmacy we are keen to undertake a range of professional services. Raggy, who is now also managing one of our new pharmacies in South London (pictured right) said “My pre-reg year with Kamsons Pharmacy was hard work but my tutor was excellent and the training prepared me well for working as a relief pharmacist and now as a pharmacist manager. The Kamsons training days were interesting and varied. I particularly enjoyed meeting with the other Kamson pre-regs.”
