“…Poorly managed skill mix to just 'get a job done' could be counterproductive and a risk to patient safety. McIntosh and Sheppy highlighted that productivity and safety can be enhanced simultaneously by greater use of the skills and experiences of all staff and could enhance outcomes both clinically and economically [14].…”

Pharmacy technicians’ roles are rapidly evolving in Great Britain (GB) as they undertake more extended activities with increased autonomy across the different pharmacy sectors. This paper compares the GB pharmacy regulator initial education and training standards recently introduced (2017) with the qualifications currently used in practice and discusses whether future qualifications will be ‘fit for purpose’. In this context, knowledge, skills, and competence are reviewed to assess whether they will meet the expectations and underpin the evolving pharmacy technician role as integral to healthcare provision. Based on drivers, policy change, and the changing GB healthcare landscape, effectiveness of skill mix is analysed to establish whether this is being optimised to support person-centred pharmacy in response to the challenges and pressures faced within the NHS. On this basis and given there is a limited evidence base, this review has highlighted a need for larger scale research to reassure the pharmacy and wider healthcare professions, and the public, that the evolving pharmacy technician role presents no increased risk to patient safety and contributes significantly to releasing pharmacists time for person-centred clinical activities.

“…Similar insights are discussed by Grantcharov et al [181] who reports the learning rate for laparoscopic skills when trained on a virtual reality system. McIntosh and Sheppy [182] argue that skill maximization (e.g., increasing the responsibilities of healthcare practitioners) is the key to increase productivity and quality of care. They also argue that an improvement in the output (number of cases treated) and quality of care is not just necessary, but essential.…”

One of the most important health care services is emergency medical service as it plays a vital role in saving people's lives and reducing the rate of mortality and morbidity. Over the last years, many review papers have discussed emergency medical services (EMS) location problems, however, only few review papers consider the full range of EMS systems. This review paper tries to fill this gap. Our review introduces the concept of emergency care pathway following the current trend in health care systems, i.e., shifting the central role from health care providers to patients. Considering the emergency care pathway, we provide a broad literature review and analysis in order to identify emerging challenges for future research.
