Stage 1. Shortage of pharmacists

  • This is a workstream being undertaken by IPU led by executive – to address shortage of pharmacists entering community pharmacy
  • Output: Agreed plans to increase entry to profession

Stage 2. Signpost to HR / IR supports

  • Charter project
  • Signpost to how it can be used
  • Not set up as an expert area on contracts or working conditions
  • Facilitate discussions and operationalisation of charter
  • Output: A workplace to bring Charter alive and start conversations?

Stage 3. Building mental health and resilience supports

  • EAP and other supports already in place – re-market and promote
  • Look at training function – can we build a raining programme based on building resilience? Can we tie to core competency framework?
  • Can we build a programme of development for young pharmacists?
  • Specific schemes eg abdication etc.
  • What are resources required for work?

Output: A planned intervention to build resilient and mental health among cohorts of pharmacists

Stage 4. Monitoring and evaluation

  • These programmes are hard to evaluation
  • Each specific element is open to evaluation
  • Needs to be considered?
