The Pharmacy Show 2026
Join us at the UK's largest dedicated pharmacy exhibition from Sunday 11 - Monday 12 October at the NEC in Birmingham at stand B25. Discover how Skills4Pharmacy can help you recruit, train and develop your workforce through apprenticeships, commercial training and funding support.
Helping Build the Future Pharmacy Workforce
Whether you're an independent pharmacy, multiple, NHS organisation or healthcare employer, our team will be on hand throughout The Pharmacy Show to discuss practical workforce solutions.
From apprenticeships and commercial courses to funding advice and recruitment support, we'll help you find the right training pathway for your organisation.
Levy funding is a government-funded scheme that helps employers pay for apprenticeship training and assessment. Employers with an annual pay bill over £3 million contribute to the Apprenticeship Levy, with these funds held in an online account that can be used to invest in apprenticeship training.
Levy-paying employers can use their available funds to train their own employees or transfer unused funds to other employers. This allows businesses to access apprenticeship training while making the most of available funding and supporting the development of new skills within their workforce.
