Abstract

For healthcare professionals, the capacity to deliver improvements in therapeutic outcomes, patients’ quality of life, scientific advancement and public health imperatives is dependent on a foundation of competence and capability, enhanced by developing expertise in their specialist knowledge and skills. Likewise, a competent and capable workforce is an essential pre-requisite for all healthcare professions and pharmacy is no exception. Professional recognition for pharmacists and pharmaceutical scientists (which embraces the concept of credentialing) for advancing practice should deliver this, supporting practitioner development and progression through excellent quality assured training and recognising personal development. The aims of the Joint Partners Credentialing Taskgroup (JPCT) project were to: i. Provide expert opinion and evidence for professional recognition across all areas of practice; ii. Develop a set of principles for professional recognition for advanced levels of practice; iii. Identify a set of appropriate tools and modalities for professional recognition processes; iv. Provide a set of evidence based recommendations for professional credentialing of practitioners to inform the development of the RPS Faculty. The methods of analysis for the project included a literature search, a survey of specialist/partner groups and structured interviews with expert practitioners and senior managers.
