Abstract
Background:
Continuing professional development (CPD) is essential for pharmacists and is a regulator requirement in Great Britain (GB).
Objectives:
The aim of this study was to establish current participation in CPD activity in GB, in terms of format and providers, plus preferences of pharmacists, including motivators and barriers, and support needed for application of learning.
Methods:
This study utilised a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews of pharmacists in South London, England.
Results:
The majority of responders (n=293/338, 86.6%) had taken part in CPD activity in the past 12 months. Although face-to-face workshops were the most preferred activity, digital completion was the most used activity. There was
increasing non-participation with reduced working hours (p=0.003). The employer was the most commonly used provider. From 19 interviews, three main themes emerged: Engagement, Intervention and Application.
Conclusions:
It is clear that no single format is preferred by all. There needs to be a strategy to ensure good utilisation of providers, and CPD-based events having an impact on practice.
