The Self-Assessment is a tool that assists members in identifying their learning needs (both those to maintain competency and those to advance professionally) and creating a plan for learning. The Self-Assessment Tool, available on-line through the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Portal, consists for six sections: Standards of Practice, Clinical Knowledge, Practice Environment, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Log, Education Action Plan and Feedback Survey.
Every year, 20 % of members in Part A of the Register will be randomly selected to complete the Self-Assessment Tool (Phase I of the Practice Review). This means that approximately 2,400 pharmacists will be selected to participate each year, and every pharmacist in Part A will be selected to participate once in every five year cycle. Members who are randomly selected for this process are required to complete the Self-Assessment Tool and notify the College of completion within eight weeks. Although members are only required to complete the Self-Assessment once in every five year cycle, members are encouraged to complete it voluntarily on a yearly basis.
The Self-Assessment Tool is available on-line as part of the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Portal.
