Reflective Practice: Co-Creating Reflective Activities for Pharmacy Students.

Reflective practice is important in pharmacy education to support skill development for decision-making, critical thinking, problem-solving, and in continuing professional development and beyond. Despite the importance of reflective practice in higher education and professional practice, reflection assignments are not universally embraced by students. This project was initiated due to recent interest in the co-creation of pharmacy curriculum by students and faculty.

A qualitative case study exploring the implementation of pharmacist care planning services in community pharmacies.

Objectives: To describe the comprehensive annual care plan (CACP) process and to conceptualize how remunerated CACP services were implemented by community pharmacists.

Design: A comparative, multiple case study approach with data comprising document review, observation, and semistructured interviews.

Setting And Participants: Pharmacists, pharmacy technicians and staff, and student pharmacists from 4 different community pharmacy sites in Alberta, Canada, including independent, franchise, and corporate chain pharmacies.

"It Made a Difference to Me": A Comparative Case Study of Community Pharmacists' Care Planning Services in Primary Health Care.

In some jurisdictions, governments and the public look to community pharmacies to provide expanded primary health care services, including care plans with follow-up. Care planning services, covered by the Compensation Plan in Alberta, Canada, require pharmacists to assess an eligible patient's health history, medication history, and drug-related problems to establish goals of treatment, interventions, and monitoring plan. Follow-up assessments are also covered by the Compensation Plan.
