The medicines related-consultation assessment tool (MR-CAT) is a new validated global assessment tool which has been used to assess over 4000 pharmacy professionals working in primary care. The MR-CAT can also be used as a self-assessment tool to support pharmacy professionals to conceptualise what good consultation skills and behaviours look like. In this session we will use recorded simulated consultations to demonstrate how the MR-CAT can be used to distinguish between consultations of differing quality and discuss how the MR-CAT can be used to identify areas of good consultation practice and areas for development. We believe that the MR-CAT should be the consultation skills assessment tool of choice and are working with HEI partners to explore how the MR-CAT can be used for teaching and assessment in the academic setting as well as incorporating the MR-CAT into CPPE learning programmes.

In 2023 UEA admitted students to a novel, longitudinal prescribing program that taught a broad but defined hospital prescribing scope alongside long established basic clinical training. It used DPPs in a different way, to spread the burden of supervision while creating exposure to multiple prescribing mentors and. It embedded the RPS credentialling process to facilitate a triple award at the end of 2 years. Lessons have been learned along the way. Lessons about what good supervision looks like and the importance of it if you want to develop autonomy. Lessons about what good feedback looks like if you want behaviour change, fast. Lessons about what safe, effective prescribing could look like in an early career practitioner and how it would translate to service. Lessons about what controlled scope expansion and sector diversification could look like in a post 2026 workforce, and reassurance of the need for basic clinical orientation to remain a part of post-registration training
