Background: Behavioural marker systems are used across several healthcare disciplines to assess behavioural (non-technical) skills, but rater training is variable, and inter-rater reliability is generally poor. Inter-rater reliability provides data about the tool, but not the competence of individual raters. This study aimed to test the inter-rater reliability of a new behavioural marker system (PhaBS - pharmacists' behavioural skills) with clinically experienced faculty raters and near-peer raters.

- Refugee doctors face significant challenges in integrating into new healthcare systems due to language and cultural differences, educational background, and reduced confidence, leading to potential relocation if not addressed.
- A study explored the impact of a six-day immersive simulation program on their workforce integration by conducting semi-structured interviews and analyzing data using a conceptual model of integration.
- Findings revealed that the simulation program improved communication and cultural understanding, strengthened social connections among doctors, and helped reclaim their professional identities, although some opportunities for integration were missed.
Introduction: Healthcare systems worldwide are facing a workforce crisis; meanwhile, refugee doctors throughout the world face difficulties in accessing work. The aims of this review were to explore the integration needs of refugee doctors into host healthcare systems from the refugee perspective, synthesise the literature to construct a theory of refugee doctor integration needs and explore how these needs are met or challenged on the pathway to full integration.
Methods: In this integrative literature review, 11 databases and eight grey literature sources were searched by combining terms for refugee doctor and social integration and limiting to research published in or after 2003.
Objectives: Pharmacists increasingly require complex behavioural skills to fulfil enhanced roles within healthcare teams. Behavioural marker systems are used to assess behavioural (or non-technical) skills during immersive simulation. This study aimed to develop a marker system for pharmacists' behavioural skills in patient-focussed care scenarios, and to investigate its content validity.

Tolerance of ambiguity is therefore an important attribute for trainee pharmacists and medical students to develop. This study aimed to explore the impact of an interprofessional simulation on the tolerance of ambiguity of trainee pharmacists and medical students.
