  1. MRCGP Prescribing Assessment From August 2019 The short version! Chris Hirst May 2019

  2. What’s Happening • New assessment • To be completed in first half of GP ST3 year • Additional to other ST3 assessments but total number CbDsreduced to 10 from 12 in ST3 year • Formative tool, but mandatory to complete • Only fail pilot if not completed, no set standard required • When approved will form part of the data within the ePortfolio on which a summative judgment will be made of the trainees progression

  3. Why? • Prescribing errors found in 1/20 prescriptions • Prescribing integral part of GP work • To date not formally assessed • Agreed that trainees would benefit from support in prescribing

  4. Process 1 • Process is retrospective • CS identifies date (probably a couple of months into ST3) • Computer search pulls up last 60 prescriptions prior to that date • This goes into spreadsheet – there are tools on RCGP website • Trainee reviews prescriptions, looking at clinical records and fills in spreadsheet. • Any issues highlighted are identified and investigated by trainee

  5. Process 2 • CS then reviews at least 20 of these prescriptions including those where the trainee has identified no errors • Trainee writes up reflections in prescribing assessment log on e-portfolio. Can create PDPs from this • Trainee and CS review prescribing together in a tutorial • CS then completes prescribing form and makes assessment of trainees prescribing and any suggested PDPs • CS and trainee both complete on-line survey

  6. Assessment of Prescribing ‘RIGHT Prescribing?’ • Right drug? • Right dose? • Right Indication? • Right instructions? • Right Follow Up? Look for good prescribing practice Look for any error themes/patterns

  7. Further Notes • CS in this assessment could be Practice Pharmacist • Further Information https://www.rcgp.org.uk/training-exams/training/mrcgp-workplace-based-assessment-wpba/prescribing-assessment.aspx
