FIP Pharmacy Education Taskforce |
Competent pharmacists have the potential to improve therapeutic outcomes and patients’ quality of life. Before competence can be determined, the specific competencies and behaviours that contribute to it must be identified.
The aim of the overall project is to develop a global competency framework (GbCF) that includes behavioural statements which can be adaptable to local needs and cultural contexts relevant to a global pharmaceutical workforce. This would be consistent with other health professions (eg, physicians) who have achieved a harmonised global consensus about competency.
In the initial phase of the project, documents/frameworks were collected from around the world. Through consultation and review, these have been synthesised into this draft global version. Now we need your feedback about relevance or how well these behavioural statements fit your practice.
As a pharmacist, your contribution is highly valuable, ensuring that the core competencies and behaviours you feel important to your daily work are incorporated in the global competency framework draft version survey. I hereby invite you to share your thoughts.
We will now ask you some specific questions about behavioural statements that constitute the provision of pharmaceutical services. The items are divided into four separate clusters: pharmaceutical public health, pharmaceutical care, organisation and management, and professional/personal competencies.
Please think only about your own pharmaceutical practice and then rate each individual behavioural statement as highly relevant, relevant, with low relevance or not relevant to your practice.
Please follow the directions and answer all questions. This is an anonymous, confidential questionnaire; responses will be reported in aggregate and no one respondent will be identifiable. Please answer honestly, reflecting actual practice rather than desired practice.
This questionnaire should take no more than 20 minutes of your time. All contributions are highly valued, and we appreciate your time and effort.
