This is a first come first serve initiative, so get
involved to avoid missing out!

Numark, Buttercups Training, and PHOENIX UK Group are teaming up to
solve one of the biggest challenges facing community pharmacies in England:
finding and keeping great staff. This innovative partnership introduces "levy
gifting," a groundbreaking idea that will help pharmacy owners train new
pharmacy technicians and build a stronger workforce.

What is levy gifting?
Imagine this: big businesses like PHOENIX pay into a
special fund, called an apprenticeship levy, designed to
support training programmes. They can share up to 50% of
their levy to fund apprenticeships for smaller organisations.
Our new plan utilises a combination of funds from PHOENIX
and the BPP Social Impact Fund, aiming to share a whopping
£500,000 to train people at our member pharmacies.
Buttercups Training will be the glue, connecting Numark
members to the training programmes they need.
The game changer

Our focus is the Pharmacy Technician Training
Programme (PTTP) Apprenticeship. This isn't just
any training—it’s on-the-job training for one of
the most in-demand roles in pharmacies today.
It’s perfect for current dispensing assistants who
are ready to advance their careers and step up
to become pharmacy technicians.

Who is Buttercups Training?
Buttercups Training is the largest pharmacy
training provider in the UK, with the
PTTP Apprenticeship being their flagship
programme. They were the first provider
to bring a programme of this type to the
market, and continue to set the standard
and lead the way in pharmacy training.
