Two separate regulated professions:
...
- 4-year Master of Pharmacy (MPharm) degree (not commissioned - places determined by universities/marketplace)
- 1 year pre-registration training - workplace-based commissioned by HEE (check this - are the community ones commissioned by NHSE as funded by them?)
- Additional qualification to become an independent prescriber (university - normally 6 months p/t) but no further specialty training pathway
...
- c 3k pre-registration (trainee) pharmacists
- Train alongside a tutor in hospital or community setting (+ tiny number in industry)
- Employed in one-year fixed-term post - NHS trust trainees funded by HEE; community-based funded by NHS England
- Trainee records are held by employer not HEE (so not on Intrepid)
- Engagement vairies varies by local HEE - some carry out site visits and provide training days
Two parts to assessment and progression (current process)
- Competency-based appraisal every 13 weeks signed off by tutor (may be observed or portfolio-based)
- Final registration assessment - exam based (by GPC)
Pharmacy training is under review. Key drivers:
- Make training and assessment more robust
- HEE remit to 'get workforce right for patients'
- Close quality gap between NHS Trust and community-based (commercial retailer) pharmacy training
- Growing role of community pharmacists as integral part of health service delivery
- Better support for pharmacists in training
...
- Pharmacy Training Panel – has been modelled on ARCP (from Gold Guide)
- A proportion of trainees who are having a go with ePortfolio will have their portfolios reviewed in January and March 2017
- Have appointed 6 chairs to convene panels
- Outcomes will be edited version of ARCP outcomes (no form or database established yet)
- Trainees will be invited for face-to-face feedback if unsatisfactory outcome
- Regulations currently that tutor signs off competencies - moving to a panel signing off will require change in regulations (meeting with GPC in December 2016 to discuss) - so initially panel outcome will just provide a core piece of evidence for the trainee
- Will develop an appeals process (not yet as relevant as panel not regulatory sign off)
