“…13,30 Student professionalisation was also positively influenced through interactions with "patient-facing" teaching staff, 13 those pharmacist educators who regularly work in hospital or community pharmacy. 80 Trede et al also lent support to these results in their comments on the importance of authentic experiences for professional identity development. 67 A large component of experiential learning in the curriculum, such as that stipulated by ACPE Standards 2016, provides a rich environment for student identity development through concentrated exposure to and engagement with the practice.…”

Little research exists on the formation of professional identity in higher education health programs. Such programs may approach the teaching, learning, and assessment of professionalism based upon a suite of attitudes, values, and behaviors considered indicative of a practicing professional. During this transition, professional identity formation can be achieved through student engagement with authentic experiences and interaction with qualified professionals. This paper examines the shift toward identity formation as an essential element of professional education and considers its implications for pharmacy curriculum design.

“…Further concerns were raised over EEA pharmacists who may register but not enter employment, such as locums, and thus not fall under any management structures. Locum pharmacists are usually self‐employed, with no organisation having responsibility for identifying and managing, or sharing information on, their performance concerns, with potential patient safety implications …”

“…Locum pharmacists are usually self-employed, with no organisation having responsibility for identifying and managing, or sharing information on, their performance concerns, with potential patient safety implications. [59][60][61][62][63] Individual pharmacy companies and the regulatory body can use the findings of this work to inform their approaches to support the recruitment and the adaptation of ITPs in GB. Employers in this study stated that their fundamental responsibility was to ensure patient safety and check the language proficiency of their new EEA recruits, and providing adaption programmes was a step through which this was achieved.…”

“…This information will be important for doctors, the employment sectors and policymakers to improve the appraisal process, as well as other stakeholders in medical appraisal and revalidation in the UK including appraisers, ROs, the GMC, the National Health Service and the Departments of Health. In addition to medicine, the results could be utilised by other healthcare professions, with the nursing24 and pharmacy25 professions in the UK in the process of designing their own revalidation processes of which appraisal may be a part.…”

Understanding how appraisal of doctors produces its effects: a realist review protocol

et al. 2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

IntroductionUK doctors are now required to participate in revalidation to maintain their licence to practise. Appraisal is a fundamental component of revalidation. However, objective evidence of appraisal changing doctors’ behaviour and directly resulting in improved patient care is limited. In particular, it is not clear how the process of appraisal is supposed to change doctors’ behaviour and improve clinical performance. The aim of this research is to understand how and why appraisal of doctors is supposed to produce its effect.Methods and analysisRealist review is a theory-driven interpretive approach to evidence synthesis. It applies realist logic of inquiry to produce an explanatory analysis of an intervention that is, what works, for whom, in what circumstances, in what respects. Using a realist review approach, an initial programme theory of appraisal will be developed by consulting with key stakeholders in doctors’ appraisal in expert panels (ethical approval is not required), and by searching the literature to identify relevant existing theories. The search strategy will have a number of phases including a combination of: (1) electronic database searching, for example, EMBASE, MEDLINE, the Cochrane Library, ASSIA, (2) ‘cited by’ articles search, (3) citation searching, (4) contacting authors and (5) grey literature searching. The search for evidence will be iteratively extended and refocused as the review progresses. Studies will be included based on their ability to provide data that enable testing of the programme theory. Data extraction will be conducted, for example, by note taking and annotation at different review stages as is consistent with the realist approach. The evidence will be synthesised using realist logic to interrogate the final programme theory of the impact of appraisal on doctors’ performance. The synthesis results will be written up according to RAMESES guidelines and disseminated through peer-reviewed publication and presentations.Trial registration numberThe protocol is registered with PROSPERO 2014:CRD42014007092.
