Abstract
The purpose of this document is to describe and explain career development pathways and support for members. The Roadmap sets out a career pathway for pharmacy professionals - the requirements to advance their career to meet the changing landscape of healthcare, and the subsequent change in the needs of patients and the public. This document provides the background and context for this change, and shows how the RPS Professional Development programmes contribute to the Roadmap to support the development of a competent, flexible and adaptable workforce. The Roadmap will describe what the RPS does to support, develop, assess and recognise pharmacy professionals across Great Britain from day 1 as a student to the time of retirement from the profession. This document seeks to provide assurance that the Foundation and Faculty programmes, alongside the support, guidance, quality assurance mechanisms and the range of assessment tools we have developed (for both self and peer assessment) can: • Mitigate the risk to patients and the public from the range of advanced generalist and specialist practice and what is a proportionate approach to mitigate that risk • Demonstrate fitness for purpose within a system that supports whatever mitigation is required, and properly describe the components of a system that develops individual practice • Provide assurance to employers (NHS and non NHS) and commissioners that an individual has advanced practice attributes. • Proportionately provide a robust, effective way to sustain an infrastructure that supports career and professional development • Seek to establish an evidence base that demonstrates improved quality, value and patient outcomes related to the RPS workforce development infrastructure.
