The Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) has published its new 'Core Advanced Pharmacist Curriculum' to enable professional development towards advanced pharmacist
practice.
This follows an intensive programme of work undertaken in collaboration with a wide range of UK stakeholders, the society said today (June 27) in a statement.
The Curriculum will equip pharmacists with advanced leadership, education, and research capabilities which are essential to support, lead and advance the profession
through transformative change so it continues to meet evolving patient and service requirements.
The RPS Core Advanced Curriculum provides the blueprint to develop such individuals by articulating a UK entry-level standard to advanced pharmacist practice,
relevant to all patient-focussed pharmacist roles and aligned to multi-professional definitions of advanced practice.
This curriculum completes the core RPS post-registration curricula, creating a seamless post-registration professional development continuum modelled around five
common domains- Person-centred care and collaboration; Professional practice; Leadership and management; Education; and Research.
