Exploring the use of digital technology in the M.Pharm. programme to prepare students for their first day of practice

Description

Background: Technological developments have
facilitated the storage of patient records, enabled
electronic prescribing, dispensing and the administration
of medicines (Goundrey-Smith, 2014). These innovations
are increasingly being used, requiring pharmacists to
further develop digital capability. The School of
Pharmacy and Medical Sciences, University of Bradford,
is keen to explore ways to better equip M.Pharm.
graduates with the necessary skills to confidently practise
in the modern digital environment. This project explored
student and staff perspectives of current digital teaching
tools in relation to preparedness for the first day of
practice.
