General practice-based undergraduate pharmacy longitudinal clerkship: a theoretically underpinned qualitative evaluation.

Background: A Pharmacy Longitudinal Clerkship (PLC) was designed to develop student pharmacists' (SPs) competence in a general practice setting.

Aim: The aim was to carry out a theoretically underpinned qualitative evaluation of stakeholder perceptions of influences of behavioural determinants on SP development for clinical practice in general practice.

Method: General practice-based PLCs were delivered in 2019/20 and 2020/21 for two cohorts of SPs in NHS Highland, Scotland.

An innovative General Practice based Pharmacy Longitudinal Clerkship: using theory to characterise its development, implementation and initial evaluation.

Background: Longitudinal Integrated Clerkships exist in undergraduate medicine courses. A pilot Pharmacy Longitudinal Clerkship (pPLC) was funded to investigate delivery of this model of clinical education for student pharmacists.

Objective(s): To investigate the development, implementation and initial evaluation of a pPLC.
