ADVANCING Practice is seeking the expertise of experienced pharmacists or non-pharmacist health professionals to evaluate pharmacists applying for the new "Advancing Practice" and "Advanced Practice" credentials for Australian pharmacists (PD 17 Nov 2017).
Advancing Practice Advisory Board chair Associate Professor Ian Coombes says evaluators will undertake independent assessment of portfolios against the Advanced Practice enabling competencies within the National Competency Standards Framework for Pharmacists in Australia 2016.
"Evaluators may be a pharmacist, or a non-pharmacist health professional, provided they have common skills in evaluation and assessment, experience in using assessment rubrics and proficiency with providing written feedback," Coombes explained.
Evaluators will be selected by the organisation after completing the online application process, in which they must demonstrate and reference examples of their skills and experience, and assess a test portfolio.
Selected evaluators must be available to attend an Advancing Practice Evaluator Training session on Mon 14 May in Brisbane, and be available within the following evaluation rounds:
Round 1: 16 Jul -- 20 Aug 2018
Round 2: 08 Oct -- 12 Nov 2018
Round 3: 21 Jan -- 04 Mar 2019
See advancingpractice.com.au for more information on time commitments, remuneration and the evaluator process, or contact the Advancing Practice team for additional details.
Applications to become an Advancing Practice evaluator close Fri 23 Mar 2018.
