How this fits with Continuing Fitness to Practice
• RPS Faculty will support pharmacists through the GPhC’s Continuing Fitness to Practice (CFTP) requirements
• The CFTP framework is made up of three components: CPD review, peer review and external performance indicators
• The RPS Faculty have been in close discussions with GPhC around these plans and have ensured that all methods of Faculty assessment (peer review and external performance indicators in the form of the Advanced Practice Framework) would be a clear quality marker for revalidation of Members
2626
How does this fit with you….
• Recognise your development, advancement or specialism• Demonstrate to others your stage of development/quality of service
• reassure patients, colleagues and employers• Adds authority beyond your job title• Better positioning for promotion or extended roles
• Quality assurance for commissioners and GPs• Support to advance your professional practice
• Portfolio for reflection, planning CPD, for appraisal with your manager
• Personal PDP• Prepare for CFTP• Access networks and established groups
2929
Where to start finding your evidence?
Your portfolio :• Did you update a portfolio for your last interview, or course (e.g. prescribing)?• CPD portfolio
Do you have a collection of achievements you’re proud of from your recent career?• These may be specific roles or projects that have been successfully completed or can
be on-going
Look at your CV / job (or course) applications- a list of your major achievements• Your Job descriptions: duties or responsibilities that show you have progressed
beyond foundation years
Appraisal/ performance reviews can be a useful archive of the projects you have been involved in
3030
What makes good evidence?
• Your best work- only highest stage not all stages• Entry can describe a role, project etc rather than document/
certificate: demonstrate your advanced work in practice• Describe your contribution- in terms of the competencies it
maps to• 1-2 best evidence for each competency, not everything you have
done• Brief/ succinct & to the point- focus on how you demonstrated
competency• Keep ‘hard evidence’ to back up APP entry (for face to face
assessment) E.g. documents, feedback, emails, reports
34
Call to Action…
• Put your own development first• Stand up and be recognised • Support the Faculty (your Royal College)• Engage with pharmacists in your different roles and spread the
work about the Faculty• Think about how you can use the Faculty to help others
(undergraduates, newly qualified, returning to practice)
