but anyone working in the dispensary needs to be started on a dispensing NVQ2 (or equivalent) within 3 months of starting work (or taking up the role). Much the same with counter staff "regularly involved with the sales of retail medicines".

I'm a pharmacy student and work Saturdays for a multiple. I started 17mths ago on Healthcare (only received the training in Jan) - I trained myself by reading all the packets and asking LOTS of questions!! I have also been working p/t in the dispensary (holiday cover) and am paid Trainee Dispenser pay but apparently as I am a Pharmacy student and therefore will be qualified by the end of the 2 years it takes to get the NVQ I don't need training. Am I covered?
