Day 6 is a practical training day in which you will be required to demonstrate an awareness of first aid skills and knowledge in line with GPhC performance standard C.2.10. At the end of the day you will receive your certificate in First Aid.
This day focuses on Law and Ethics, with various workshops to develop an understanding of the laws and acts that affect the practice of pharmacists. Concepts of ethical decision making, liability, accountability and professional responsibility will also be covered on this day, as well as legal requirements associated with responsible pharmacist regulations and CD regulations.
This day allows trainees to sit full length Part 1 and Part 2 GPhC Mock registration assessment papers under timed conditions in order to identify areas of the GPhC registration assessment framework where further knowledge and application is required. Mock Papers will be returned to trainees on the final day to aid their revision.
On the final day of the programme performance on the mock assessment will be reviewed and exam techniques and revision tips in preparation for the GPhC registration assessment will be discussed. The day will also provide the opportunity to identify further learning needs and will enable exploration of learning points from previous sittings of the GPhC registration assessment whilst practicing exam style questions.
Trainees will have access to a Virtual Learning Environment that includes a wealth of resources as well as pre-work to ensure they are well prepared for their training days. The VLE also includes leadership boards to kick start some healthy competition amongst the 500 trainees enrolled on the programme.
As well as the assessments carried out throughout the year during the training sessions, trainees will have access to online assessments which they can complete in their own time to provide further practice and support.
We believe that tutors should be involved in their trainee learning journey. For this reason, we provide feedback to our tutors after each training session to keep them informed about the objectives and competencies completed on the day, test results, as well as questions and scenarios.
Video learning solutions enable a more tailored approach for trainees to practice at their own pace in order to build their confidence in the steps needed to achieve the correct answer in their calculations online practice.
