Weekly Comment 16 Nov 15: Advanced pharmacy practice recognition – not just for hospital pharmacists
November 16, 2015
THE advanced pharmacy practice
credentialing process should be
considered by all pharmacists. At
first glance it may seem applicable
to only those practising in
hospitals. Dig a little deeper and
you’ll see that it’s a professional
development journey for all.
Those who’ve completed the
credentialing process come from
diverse professional backgrounds.
The majority of my practice is
community-based. I’m only
exposed to hospitals when
included in groups as a primary
healthcare representative.
Those based in some settings may
have to push a little harder to get
experience in some of the domains
that are evaluated. That in itself is
only a good thing, as it encourages
us to broaden our skills.
Excellent feedback was provided
regarding my portfolio of
experience in the Outcomes Report
prepared by APC. It was highly
individualised; the evaluators had
good insight into areas where I
did and didn’t perform at a given
level. It became obvious to me
whilst completing the portfolio,
and after reading the evaluation,
where I can be especially proud
of my achievements and where
some skills have good scope for
improvement.
The effort put into completing
my advanced practice portfolio
mirrored its value.
