Advice regarding specific NHS jobs criteria

I've noticed some criteria that frequently come up in NHS posts which I can't meet right now (context: I'm currently a newly qualified locum in community pharmacy), but could anyone advise on how I could work towards them?

The criteria:

  • Previous participation in audit, development of audit tools, data collection and collation - I did learn about national audits for community back in uni e.g. NSAIDs/PPIs but I haven't come across them in practise, and I'm not sure how I could get involved in these as a locum
  • Postgraduate certificate/diploma in pharmacy practice or equivalent - Can this be done without hospital workplace support or is it exclusive for people training/working in hospitals?
  • Minimum of two years experience as a pharmacist, demonstrated within a practice portfolio - Is there a particular format/guideline for a practice portfolio?
