Is it possible to defer or delay the start date of the Foundation Pharmacy programme?

Modified on Thu, 11 Jun at 4:37 PM

Applicants should liaise directly with their employing organisation and the relevant regional team to discuss any request to defer or delay a start date. Where the relevant regional team is unknown, applicants should submit an enquiry via the applicant support portal, and the Pharmacy National Recruitment Office (PNRO) will advise further.


However, you should note that the employer is under no obligation to hold a place open for you, and NHS England plays no role in contractual discussions and agreements with employers.
