AdPha Training Programs – application for Core Accreditation

Step 1 of 6

Core Accreditation is the accreditation of the site at which all AdPha Training Programs will be undertaken. It establishes the criteria a hospital pharmacy department must meet to become an AdPha-accredited Training Program Site. A pharmacy department must demonstrate that the physical, departmental and cultural attributes of the department are aligned with AdPha’s standards with respect to staff development and education.

Core accreditation is required for a site to run Resident and/or Registrar Training Programs.

The AdPha Accreditation Standards for Hospital Pharmacy Training Programs 2024 provide detail of the standards which underpin the Training Programs and should be referred to when completing this application.

Your responses and documents submitted as part of this application will be what AdPha use to consider your site(s) suitability to run an AdPha Training Program.
