Fee information for new PMST trainees
New trainees must pay three fees after their application has been approved and they are enrolled on to the PMST programme:
- FPM annual PMST fee;
- FPM annual/pro rata Associate membership subscription (if applicable); and
- JRCPTB’s one-off enrolment fee.
Trainees are encouraged to pay their FPM fees online via MyFPM.
The JRCPTB will contact new trainees and arrange for them to pay the upfront enrolment fee online. The JRCPTB will give the new trainee access to their e-portfolio only after the upfront fee has been paid.
Please note that FPM’s fees and the JRCPTB’s fee are two separate payments and cannot be combined into one payment.
Fee information for current PMST trainees
Trainees must pay their annual FPM membership subscriptions and annual PMST fees on time. These fees are separate charges.
From 1 April 2020, trainees who are on an out of programme career break (OOPC) or on maternity leave must also pay either the full annual PMST fee or partial fee depending on when the trainee went OOPC or on maternity leave.
It is the trainee’s responsibility to ensure that all fees are paid in full and on time. If a trainee has difficulty paying their fees, they must contact FPM’s Specialty Training Manager as soon as possible.
The postgraduate dean for the Pharmaceutical Medicine Deanery may withdraw a trainee’s NTN and remove them from the PMST programme if they fail to pay their fees.
If a trainee’s NTN is withdrawn and they want it reinstated, they must re-apply to enrol on to the PMST programme and pay any outstanding fees to FPM if required.
