London NHS Pharmacy Services. 5th Asia Pacific Pharmacy Education Workshop At Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, on the Aug., 27-29, Development Projects & Publications Developing the Health Care of the Future Professional development Career development pathways is all about the pharmacy WORKFORCE : production capacity competency Preservice initial education Foundation Foundation years years early early career career (return (return to to work) work) Advanced 1 established career Advanced 2 Established career expertise Advanced Mastery Part 1: as an education model Part 2: The dimensions of workforce development Part 3: What it means for the higher education sector Level of knowledge, skills, experience (Competence)

2 The Education development Convergence of strategic drivers UG/Students Schools/Faculties Entry vs. loss/attrition Production pipeline through Education skills/capabilities (older pharmacists?)? Preregistration Interns The active, registered WORKFORCE what are the stages? (professional recognition) Loss Not active (eg. maternity) Not pharmacy Not working (eg. retired) policies Financial /economic Demographic Government policies Knowledge / technology Pharmaceutical care services More flexible workforce Competencebased workforce planning dimensions What s the journey for me? Service level competency: Training CPD Career pathway Service cover size: Resources Supply Recruitment Retention Service scope capacity: Skill mix Environment Support systems

3 Learning and working a different culture Changing the Focus Typical student academic Learning Environment Guided study material Learning Support Peer contact Tutor Access Defined curriculum Regular Appraisal Typical Workplace learning Environment Difficult to identify learning needs Need to recognise learning opportunities Lack of individualised Curriculum Limited Tutor Support Infrequent Appraisal outcomes Competence Competency Performance Developing a culture of Workplace Education, work based learning Competency iceberg Miller s pyramid Effective and persistent behaviour Knowledge Skills Abilities Values, attitudes and beliefs Does Shows how Knows how Knows From UG to post-registration development performance assessment in vivo performance assessment in vitro clinical context assessment factual assessment

4 Competency? A typical, routine hospital admission Developmental Frameworks Aspirin Co amoxyclav Morphine Paracetamol Metformin Omeprazole Bisoprolol Solifenacin Sodium Valproate Insulatard Trimethoprim Ondansetron Cyclizine 74 year old: Diabetes II Glaucoma Epilepsy Dementia Br Cancer* UTI, incontinence DVT risk Long term conditions Complex disease Knowing is not enough being able to do things is what is needed EAHP PGEU EPSA EIPA EAFP The global validity is now proven A Global Framework (Foundation) First round validation N = 470 Region of least consensus

5 Practitioner development frameworks: Acute care to community care Medicines management Accessing to medicines and self care Cognitive pharmaceutical care services (all sectors) Not just clinical dimensions FIP (WHO/UNESCO) 60+ countries contributing PHARMINE: EAFP EAHP EIPG PGEU EPSA Service level competency: Training CPD Career pathway Service cover size: Resources Supply Recruitment Retention Service scope capacity: Skill mix Environment Support systems Grass roots (foundation & advanced) 150 hospitals/pcts; Wales and Northern Ireland (Eire) Royal College data WHO data

6 Pharmacy Trends PHARMACIST DENSITY Shortages in many regions insufficient capacity to train workforce, poor retention per 10,000 capita distribution imbalance rural/urban, public/private Practice role development need for education to be relevant to local needs Increasing migration (within and between countries) Poor utilisation of skills (2012 FIP Global Pharmacy Report ww.fip.org/humanresources) PHARMACISTS PER 1,000,000 POPULATION NUMBER OF EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS Malta 2,500 South Africa 250 Somalia 2

7 NUMBER OF EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS Graduate density (against global average) Pharmacy Schools per capita Capacity and supply % gender

9 Convergence of strategic drivers What s needed from the healthcare workforce policies Financial /economic Demographic Government policies Knowledge / technology Pharmaceutical care services More flexible workforce Competencebased workforce planning Adaptability: In a changing healthcare environment Flexibility: Recognition that enables the development of a flexible and adaptable workforce Demonstrability/capability: Demonstration of the benefit of pharmacy to health competence and beyond the benefit to patients and the public Health services in 2014 dimensions Quality 2012? Innovation E&T Effectiveness Delivery Service level competency: Training CPD Career pathway Service cover size: Resources Supply Recruitment Retention Service scope capacity: Skill mix Environment Support systems

10 Moving on with our careers Practitioner progression pathways Career progression Self direction & self awareness Support structures National career pathways National professional standards for recognition ( credentialing ) Broad towards narrow focus Day 1 Outcomes & early years Advanced highly specialist Advanced Broad scope Level of knowledge, skills, experience (Competence) Where are we? Career development pathways Preservice initial education Foundation Foundation years years early early career career (return (return to to work) work) Advanced 1 established career Advanced 2 Established career expertise Advanced Mastery Level of knowledge, skills, experience (Competence)

11 The Royal Pharmaceutical Society Royal College approach The education development process Full range of professional leadership functions most importantly professional recognition Foundation programme 1 2 years Advanced Stage 1 experienced Early stages of specialisation & advancement Advanced Stage 2 expert A recognised expert in an area of practice Faculty Fellow exceptional Recognised leader / Consultant 1. Formal, national portfolio based on APF 2. Scope of Practice 3. Peer review (MSF) MIFRPS MIIFRPS FFRPS Support acquisition of complex skills through work-based learning models; Put competency at the heart of experience; Meet patient safety agenda; Be accessible for all practitioners; Demonstrate appropriate and consistent quality: of the workplace of the educators mentors, supervisors, seniors dimensions Global model Service level competency: Training CPD Career pathway Service cover size: Resources Supply Recruitment Retention Service scope capacity: Skill mix Environment Support systems WHO: Transformative Education IPE, competence, values World Bank: performance? How do we measure on impact? A basis for professional education practice & policy

12 In an ideal world of workforce development 1. Professional recognition by peers (and Leadership bodies); 2. Availability of robust, transparent process for development; 3. Defined career pathways linked with recognition; 4. A focus on journey (for many) - rather than just the endpoint developmental frameworks linked to performance & competence Careering towards the future Partnerships are now key Universities Workplaces Professional Leadership Organisations and don t forget the reasons Better training, better care Education saves lives
