Sid Dajani has been a contractor for nine years and has never found the time to have a pre-reg.
We should have prescribing in the degree at undergrad level, ability to change a prescription, all pharmacists should become prescribers at graduate level, says Sid Dajani.
Ability to change a 1 to a 100 on a script when a GP has made a mistake would be useful, says Sid Dajani
Damian Day says GPhC thought about every pharmacist being a prescriber. Said the money wasn't there
Sue Ambler says HEE, like GPhC, considered prescribing but also stepped back from it. If we could prescribe, we would be doctors
Day Lewis trying to build strong relationships with unis, Tim Rendell says. They are very careful about selecting pre-reg tutors.
Susan Sanders would ensure that the people training pre-regs had the ability to provide a worthwhile eyar
Al Patel would add a business element to the pharmacy degree
James Davies wants a clinical academic workforce to support students moving from the academic realm into practice
Petre Jones would change the final assessment to look at the competencies you would want from a qaulified pharmacist: consultation, business, endorsing scripts, patient care, etc. Everything you'd want from a pharmacist looking after your grandma
Lotte Bain wants practical skill-based learning from the first day of the degree
Damian Day wants structures that would help academia and practice work more closely together
Sally-Louise Jones think its important for pharmacists to work more closely with GPs and other professionals
Sid Dajani wants more integration, common sense and not to over-complicate prescribing
End of first debate. Life after the pre-reg year is to follow...
First debate roundup: Appears to be near consensus that degree assessment needs to be much more focused on practice-based skills. Sid Dajani's claim that prescribing should be compulsory at undergrad level has split opinion. What do you think?

@pharmtraining Think it'd be good to train those taking students on for placements, lots of varied experiences with those too. #CDsenateby alexxbamsey via twitter 5/16/2013 1:46:04 PM
