ASSESSMENT PROCEDURES Outcome 1 It is recommended that candidates will undertaken an assignment of approximately words to provide evidence for all performance criteria. Outcome 2 It is recommended that case studies using simulated prescriptions are used to provide evidence for the performance criteria. Candidates should be allowed access to standard recognised reference sources for this assessment. The assessment of Outcome 2 should be restricted to drug interactions which are identified as being clinically significant in the BNF and dosage regimens which are inappropriate with respect to lying outwith the standard doses for patients of a particular age range. Outcome 3 It is recommended that case studies are used to provide evidence for all performance criteria. Outcome 4 It is recommended that case studies are used to provide evidence of all performance criteria. Candidates should be given specific examples of extemporaneous preparations which could be encountered in a pharmacy dispensary and should use recognised reference sources to access the in formation required to provide evidence for all performance criteria. Outcome 5 It is recommended that case studies involving simulated exercises are used to provide evidence of all performance criteria. Candidates will be presented with 10 simulated examples of dispensed medicines and will be required to identify errors and potential errors. They will also be required to identify errors and potential errors. They will also be required to identify the procedures necessary to rectify the errors and avoid the potential errors which have been identified. Outcome 6 12
13 Outcome 6 must be assessed in the workplace and appropriate reference sources must be made available for the assessment.
