“…The goals of the ladder system are to increase retention of experienced nurses, incentivize long-term careers in the clinical setting, improve nurse job satisfaction, and ultimately improve patient care by maintaining a workforce of experienced practitioners (Benner 1982;Huey 1982). Other professions, such as pharmacy, have also recognized the value of career ladders in job satisfaction and improving patient care (Goodwin et al 2010a, b;Smith and Shane 1989). More recently, a task force of the American Association of Respiratory Care, in evaluating the bigger picture of developing the respiratory therapy workforce for practice in 2015 and beyond, recommended developing and promoting career ladder programs.…”

There are currently multiple paths through which genetic counselors can acquire advanced knowledge and skills. However, outside of continuing education opportunities, there are few formal training programs designed specifically for the advanced training of genetic counselors. In the genetic counseling profession, there is currently considerable debate about the paths that should be available to attain advanced skills, as well as the skills that might be needed for practice in the future. The Association of Genetic Counseling Program Directors (AGCPD) convened a national committee, the Committee on Advanced Training for Certified Genetic Counselors (CATCGC), to investigate varied paths to post-master's training and career development. The committee began its work by developing three related grids that view career advancement from the viewpoints of the skills needed to advance (skills), ways to obtain these skills (paths), and existing genetic counselor positions that offer career change or advancement (positions). Here we describe previous work related to genetic counselor career advancement, the charge of the CATCGC, our preliminary work in developing a model through which to view genetic counselor advanced training and career advancement opportunities, and our next steps in further developing and disseminating the model.

“…Precisely which drugs are candidates for shared-care should be agreed between hospital providers, GPs and FHSAs. (Smith 1993, p. 110) It is generally accepted that shared care protocols are needed if GPs are willing to prescribe and take responsibility for complex drugs such as Growth Hormone, Epoetin, Cyclosporin, GnRH analogues, Total Parenteral Nutrition and Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (Trent Regional Drug Information Department 1991, Anderson 1992, North West Thames Regional Health Authority 1992, Wilson 1992, Smith 1993. The list is extensive, as a shared care protocol will need to be drawn up for any drug with which local GI's are unfamiliar, so they are provided with specialist information and support.…”

Recent changes in health policy in the United Kingdom have emphasized the key importance of a collaborative and multidisciplinary approach to the organization of health care. These changes have resulted in the formulation of programmes of shared care involving professionals from all areas of institutional and community practice. This paper critically explores the literature relating to shared care between hospital consultants and general practitioners (GPs) in the UK. The paper takes as its focus some clinical conditions for which shared care arrangements have been put into effect, and the implications of shared care for prescribing practice are discussed.

After thirteen years, the first pharmacy department in King Khalid University Hospital (KKUH) implemented clinical pharmacy program outside the United States of America (USA) 15 .
