Society summary


The BPC video booth – a novel way to tell the Society what you think

Panel: Video booth questions

Five questions will be asked at the video booth

1. What stops you being the pharmacist you want to be?

2. Who do you think could help remove the barriers and how?

3. What helps you to be the pharmacist you want to be?

4. What else would you like to see pharmacists undertake in the future?

5. Anything else you would like to tell us?

Participants will also be asked to make it clear what practice sector they work in and in which country.

A video booth

A video booth of the type to be used at the British Pharmaceutical Conference

This year's British Pharmaceutical Conference will give delegates an unusual way of telling the Royal Pharmaceutical Society what they think about current pharmacy practice in their sector and how they would like to see pharmacy develop in the future. Conference participants will be able to use a video booth at the Pharmacy 2020 stand to record their views on current and future pharmacy practice.

The video booth has an interactive touch screen interface and will go through a number of questions giving every delegate the opportunity to record their views (see Panel). Responses will be fed into the initial stage of the Pharmacy 2020 project, which is to be launched at the conference by the President of the Society, Hemant Patel.

The Society’s Director of Practice and Quality Improvement, David Pruce, who chairs the Pharmacy 2020 project group, said: “The video booth is a simple way of recording the views of delegates about pharmacy practice. It is important that at the start of the Pharmacy 2020 project, where we are looking at a forward strategy for the profession, that we discover where there is good practice and what the barriers and drivers are that affect whether pharmacists realise their potential as health care providers. I hope all delegates will take the opportunity while at BPC to record their views.”
