Abstract

Competency-based teaching, learning and assessment underpins the requirements for initial training and education of pharmacists in the UK and is set by the General Pharmaceutical Council. This pedagogic approach is conducive when teaching antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and antimicrobial stewardship (AMS). It ensures student pharmacists gain the necessary skills and behaviours to apply knowledge effectively in clinical practice. The aim of this research is to ensure that the future workforce has the necessary knowledge and skills to address AMS and AMR, a UK-wide national AMS competency framework specifically for student pharmacists has been developed.
