abstract: 'Introduction: To prepare community pharmacists for the provision of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
clinical and patient-focused services, a novel postgraduate course for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
community pharmacists in the United Kingdom was developed. The program
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
incorporated personal development planning against a personal
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
development framework, workplace mentoring, employment of work-based
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
assessment tools, activities that encouraged increased
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inter-professional working, reflection, and opportunities for peer
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
support. Objectives were to identify course components that support
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
development, describe the effect on practice, and explore the perceived
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
advantages and disadvantages of this model of postgraduate education.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Methods: Interviews were conducted with a purposive sample of 15
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
community pharmacists after they had completed approximately one year of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the three-year course. A topic guide covering approaches to learning,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rationale for course selection, course experiences to date, and impact
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
on practice was used. Interview recordings were thematically analyzed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Results: Two themes were identified. `Support for learning'' describes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the components of the course that provided support for learning,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
including opportunities to learn with and from others, workplace
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mentoring, and facilitated access to general practitioners. `Outcomes of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
learning'' encompasses how the course was a way of effecting change
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
within existing roles and the increase in confidence and motivation to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
change practice.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Conclusions: The model has merit in supporting community pharmacists to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
develop the confidence and competence required for extended clinical and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
patient-focused roles. While this model of learning seems to provide
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
educational value, further research is required to determine whether the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
additional resources required to provide workplace mentoring, use
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
work-based assessment tools, and encourage inter-professional working
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
are justified.'
