As an interim measure it has been agreed to allow 1 applicant per pharmacy from South Tyneside to access the RSPH course run by Gateshead Council. Places for South Tyneside are limited and will be allocated on a first come first served basis; they can be booked by emailing Peter Mathewson at Gateshead Council ([email protected]). Gateshead and Sunderland RSPH Level 2 arrangements remain unchanged. |
