IPMI fellowship portfolio launched
The Institute of Pharmacy Management International
has launched a portfolio that will allow its members to achieve fellowship
status through a postgraduate qualification accredited by the University
of Portsmouth.
Fellowship candidates will have to show that they
have knowledge of a range of core management topics. These include financial,
resource and workplace management, marketing, business law, human resources
and time management. They can show that they have achieved this through
formal management qualifications or through experience in the workplace.
Five-yearly re-accreditation will be required.
Launching the portfolio at the British Pharmaceutical
Conference on 23 September, Dr Gillian Hawksworth, Vice-President of the
Royal Pharmaceutical Society, said that the portfolio was another approach
that pharmacists could take to continuing professional development.
Correction
The University of Portsmouth subsequently informed The Journal that it is looking at how it might provide quality assurance for the IPMI's fellowship portfolio scheme, and not accrediting it as a postgraduate qualification. |
