CPSC Academy Meeting 5: Revalidation

Academy Series May 2019

Revalidation – ensuring you are meeting the requirements to continue to practice as either a pharmacist or pharmacy technician

We are delighted to advise you that the May Academy series is on revalidation, a topic which has been a popular request from participants of the Academy sessions to-date.

Revalidation affects all registered Pharmacists and Pharmacy Technicians:

• Pharmacists - this year, in addition to CPD entries, you must complete a Reflective Account and a Peer Discussion
• Pharmacy Technicians - this year, you must complete 4 suitable CPD entries; next year this will include a Reflective Account and a Peer Discussion

By attending, this evening workshop will help you:

• Understand more about the GPhC Professional Standards for Pharmacy Professionals
• Understand how to complete a Reflective Account on one of three specific Standards
• Understand how to have an effective Peer Discussion
• Consider who will make an appropriate Peer and potentially identify someone in the workshop
• Understand how to complete a quality CPD entry (Pharmacy Technicians)
• Reflect on your learning and consider actions for your next steps

We will cover:

• Standards for Pharmacy Professionals
• Reflective Account - what this entails, an example of a reflective model and how this can be applied to the standards. We will also start the process of writing a reflective account for those yet to write one
• Peer Discussion - what this means, how to choose a peer and how to prepare for one
• CPD entries - a breakout session for Pharmacy Technicians

The meeting will commence with hot two course meal at 6:30pm, for a 7:15pm start. We will finish at 9:30pm.

This event is FREE to attend and includes a two course hot meal and refreshments
