Leads: Royal Pharmaceutical Society & General Pharmaceutical Council

This session explores the importance of addressing the differential attainment and degree awarding gap affecting Black pharmacy students and foundation trainees. Participants will gain insight into the causes and consequences of these disparities through evidence, discussion, and lived experience, highlighting their impact across education, training, and professional progression.

The session will outline current national work to tackle these gaps, share perspectives from students and early career professionals, and identify the challenges and opportunities for system-wide change. Delegates will leave with a clearer understanding of the role they can play in creating fairer, more inclusive environments where every pharmacy professional can thrive.

Join us to learn, reflect, and lead change, help build a more equitable future for the pharmacy profession.
