Pharmacy Undergraduate Education: Can Student Primary Care Placements Add Value to Learning and Teaching?

ABSTRACT: Background: Clinical pharmacists are increasingly demonstrating their value within primary care; this process directly improves patient experiences and outcomes. However, many undergraduate pharmacy students have little or no experience in this area, so that when they first qualify from training, their previous lack of exposure could affect future patient care in this environment. Aim: This study aims to evaluate how pharmacy undergraduate students' learning and development of competencies are managed and received by general practitioner (GP) educators, clinical tutors, students, and patients in a general practice setting. Design and setting: The General Practice Pharmacy Educational Placement (GPEP) for undergraduates was designed and delivered in half-a-day each week
