UKMi Education and Training Working Group Version 1.0 November 2016
Professional Development for Pharmacists in Medicines Information
This document is designed to support specialist pharmacists in their post-foundation and more advanced professional development. It relates to the RPS Advanced Pharmacy Framework and gives examples of where a wide range of specialised and advanced MI tasks and skills map to the framework. Whilst this document can be used specifically for the development of a personal portfolio of evidence in preparation for Faculty submission, it can also be used to guide individuals seeking to explore opportunities for professional development in the workplace. This evidence mapping table only includes examples of activities which are typically part of the role and expertise of an MI pharmacist. To give a broader range of evidence, refer to material supporting advanced practice in other specific areas of your practice. (eg clinical role, education and training, management). One piece of evidence may meet a range of competencies within one cluster, or across more than one cluster. You may find the following sources useful in identifying where you meet the competency framework.
Curriculum Vitae (CV)
Performance Development Review (PDR)
MIDatabank (MIDB) enquiry records and reports
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
External audit report and action plan
Quality assurance (QA) and peer review of enquiries
Investigation of errors or near misses
Membership of committees/working groups – agendas and minutes of meetings
Email trails
Written work either local or for wider distribution or publication
Teaching sessions/tutorials delivered
Records of supervision/appraisal/giving feedback to juniors
Training programmes for rotational staff
Any type of project work
CPD records
As this is a professional development framework, as you start mapping the evidence of your advanced practice to the framework it will enable you to identify any gaps in your experience/evidence, which can be used as the basis/focus of your professional development plan over the coming months and years. The examples given under each descriptor are only suggestions, which are intended as a guide. They should not be seen as essential (in fact you may demonstrate the competency level descriptors in other ways), but may help you to identify areas for future development to include in your next PDR.
