What have I learnt over the years?
• It’s not as easy as it sounds!• Comment is often based on • limited personal experience• incomplete knowledge
• People (pharmacists) do not always read all documents
• Maybe (just maybe) more information is needed!
![Page 7: Continuing Professional Development Past, present and future Lorraine Osman Vice-President: South African Pharmacy Council Head of Public Affairs: Pharmaceutical](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e735503460f94b72593/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Structure of legislation and controlStatute•can only be changed by an Act of Parliament
Regulations to an Act•published by the Minister•developed by statutory council
Board notice•published by statutory council
Rules and guidelines•published by statutory council
![Page 8: Continuing Professional Development Past, present and future Lorraine Osman Vice-President: South African Pharmacy Council Head of Public Affairs: Pharmaceutical](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e735503460f94b72593/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What is the significance of the layers?Most important – the ease (or difficulty) and time needed for amendments
So … what would you put into•a statute?•a regulation?•a Board notice?•a rule or guideline?

SAPC guidelines for CPD
NB• This guidance document is not the final
document• It is in the process of being refined
BUT• The basic requirements remain the same
![Page 11: Continuing Professional Development Past, present and future Lorraine Osman Vice-President: South African Pharmacy Council Head of Public Affairs: Pharmaceutical](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e735503460f94b72593/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
SAPC guidelines for CPD
![Page 12: Continuing Professional Development Past, present and future Lorraine Osman Vice-President: South African Pharmacy Council Head of Public Affairs: Pharmaceutical](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e735503460f94b72593/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
SAPC guidelines for CPD
• Introduction• Why is Continuing Professional Development necessary?• Who must participate in CPD?• Requirements relating to CPD for persons registered with the
SAPC• Assessment of compliance with the requirements relating to
CPD• Appeals• Time frame for implementation of mandatory recording of
CPD for persons registered with the SAPC• List of Appendices
![Page 13: Continuing Professional Development Past, present and future Lorraine Osman Vice-President: South African Pharmacy Council Head of Public Affairs: Pharmaceutical](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e735503460f94b72593/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The bottom line
• The principles have not changed since I last spoke to you!• The guidelines are in the process
of refinement• Additional rules need to be
developed
![Page 14: Continuing Professional Development Past, present and future Lorraine Osman Vice-President: South African Pharmacy Council Head of Public Affairs: Pharmaceutical](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e735503460f94b72593/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Requirements for CPD
• Based on the CPD cycle– Reflection on practice– Planning– Action– Evaluation of learning
• “How” is up to you – if you need it, make sure you get it
• Recording – web-based
![Page 15: Continuing Professional Development Past, present and future Lorraine Osman Vice-President: South African Pharmacy Council Head of Public Affairs: Pharmaceutical](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e735503460f94b72593/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
How will compliance be assessed?
• Mainly review of CPD activities, within the context of the CPD cycle– What did you need to know?– How did you decide on what to do? – What did you do?– What is your opinion of the impact of the
learning?
![Page 16: Continuing Professional Development Past, present and future Lorraine Osman Vice-President: South African Pharmacy Council Head of Public Affairs: Pharmaceutical](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e735503460f94b72593/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Assessment criteria
![Page 17: Continuing Professional Development Past, present and future Lorraine Osman Vice-President: South African Pharmacy Council Head of Public Affairs: Pharmaceutical](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e735503460f94b72593/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Portfolio of evidence
Whatever is relevant! • Attendance certificates• Assessment and/or certificates for short
courses, including distance learning• Journal articles, read or written• Minutes of meetings• Your own detailed written account
![Page 18: Continuing Professional Development Past, present and future Lorraine Osman Vice-President: South African Pharmacy Council Head of Public Affairs: Pharmaceutical](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e735503460f94b72593/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Remember ….
• Council is only checking for compliance with very simple requirements
• Council is NOT (at this stage!) checking competence
• A five year cycle will be used with spot checks taken from 20% of pharmacists annually
![Page 19: Continuing Professional Development Past, present and future Lorraine Osman Vice-President: South African Pharmacy Council Head of Public Affairs: Pharmaceutical](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e735503460f94b72593/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Will Council ask for your portfolio of evidence?• Not necessarily• May be requested if–there is no activity in your CPD record–the entries are inadequate
• Likely to be requested from interns
![Page 20: Continuing Professional Development Past, present and future Lorraine Osman Vice-President: South African Pharmacy Council Head of Public Affairs: Pharmaceutical](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e735503460f94b72593/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Were you paying attention?
What did I just say?Did you hear right?
![Page 21: Continuing Professional Development Past, present and future Lorraine Osman Vice-President: South African Pharmacy Council Head of Public Affairs: Pharmaceutical](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e735503460f94b72593/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Of course you did!
Interns will be required to submit a portfolio of evidence.
• The intern portfolio as we have known it will not be used in future
• No longer evidence of competence• Now a CPD portfolio
![Page 22: Continuing Professional Development Past, present and future Lorraine Osman Vice-President: South African Pharmacy Council Head of Public Affairs: Pharmaceutical](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e735503460f94b72593/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
A new concern – practising vs non-practising
• If you perform one or more of the activities listed in the scope of practice for which you are registered, you are practising
• If you have to ask, you probably are practising!• Practising means that you must participate in
CPD
![Page 23: Continuing Professional Development Past, present and future Lorraine Osman Vice-President: South African Pharmacy Council Head of Public Affairs: Pharmaceutical](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e735503460f94b72593/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The register
• There is not going to be a separate register – we are living in the electronic era!
• Check what the website says now – you can check if a pharmacist is registered– it will show if you have supplementary
qualifications, e.g. PCDT
• There will be an annotation that says “practising” or “non-practising”
![Page 24: Continuing Professional Development Past, present and future Lorraine Osman Vice-President: South African Pharmacy Council Head of Public Affairs: Pharmaceutical](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032605/56649e735503460f94b72593/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
