Employment Law Roadmap | how to prepare for 2026 as a Pharmacy
Are you ready for the biggest shake-up to UK employment law in a generation?
The Employment Rights Act will transform how pharmacies hire, manage, and support their people. From stronger Trade Union powers and restrictions on ‘fire and rehire’ practices to stricter sexual harassment prevention duties and enhanced day one rights, the changes are significant – and they’re coming fast.
This webinar will be a chance for you to check your systems, map your next steps, and ensure your organisation is ready for the changes ahead.
28 April 8.00 pm - 9.00 pm
We’re delighted to invite you to an Employment Law Update, delivered in collaboration with our trusted partner, the National Pharmacy Assocation.
2026 is set to be a pivotal year for employment law, and the road ahead will demand careful planning and proactive action. Think of this webinar as your pit stop: a chance to sense-check your current approach, map out your next steps, and make sure your pharmacy is ready for what’s ahead.
With reforms already beginning to impact organisations across the UK, now is the time to ask:
Is my pharmacy prepared?
Are our policies and processes fit for purpose?
Do we understand what needs to change – and when?
Change is already underway, with key developments in April, October and into 2027.
Join this free, practical session to gain the clarity and confidence you need to stay compliant and protect your organisation.
