Description
Amit Bharkhada and colleagues evaluated pharmacy student placements in primary care. Their 2025 paper asks whether such placements add real value. Clinical pharmacists prove their worth in general practice daily. Many undergraduates, though, get little exposure to that setting. Newly qualified pharmacists may then start with a gap in experience.
The placement ran half a day a week for five weeks. Students watched consultations and interviewed patients themselves. They carried out medication reviews and reconciliation tasks. Care plans for patients were also produced by students. Views came from GP educators, tutors, students, and patients. The study judges how well learning and skills growth were managed. It also weighs how each group received the placement.
