Everything in one calm workspace

AI matching
When switched on, AI ranks DPPs for each trainee with a score and a plain-English reason.

Questions
What is a DPP?
A Designated Prescribing Practitioner supervises a foundation trainee pharmacist's period of learning in practice for prescribing, and signs off their competence.
Is DPPFORFREE really free?
Yes — using the platform is free. Each DPP sets their own supervision fee, and many offer it free. You see the fee before you send a request.
How are DPPs checked?
Our team checks each DPP's professional registration (GPhC, GMC, NMC or HCPC) before their profile becomes visible.
How does AI matching work?
When enabled for your account, AI compares each trainee's clinical area, sector, start date and location with DPP profiles and ranks the best fits with a short reason. You always make the final choice.
