This is a voluntary ex-ante transparency (VEAT) notice. This notice is to indicate that NHS Education for Scotland (NES) intends to contract with West College Scotland for the delivery of SQA accredited Diploma in Pharmacy Services at SCQF Level 7. There is an urgent need to significantly increase the number of pharmacy technicians to meet the current and future demands of pharmacy services in all sectors, and in response Scottish Government has prioritised and provided funding to secure a training pipeline.
