As part of our role to set standards for pharmacist education and training, the PSI requires people to sit on accreditation teams to evaluate and review national pharmacy degree programmes through an accreditation process. We are now seeking expressions of interest from suitably qualified individuals to participate on future accreditation teams. This process is intended to establish a panel, from which it can invite individuals to participate as accreditation team members for future accreditation visits.
About accreditation teams
Under the PSI’s (Education and Training) (Integrated Course) Rules 2014, the PSI Council appoints accreditation teams to evaluate a pharmacy programme (MPharm). The role of the accreditation teams is to evaluate an application for accreditation and continued accreditation against the PSI Accreditation Standards, and make a recommendation to the PSI on whether or not it should accredit the programme.
Accreditation team members must have an appropriate range of expertise in order that the teams can collectively perform its function to the standards required. Accreditation team members must demonstrate certain competencies, including:
-
Knowledge, expertise or experience in particular areas

Decision making skills

Communication and interpersonal skills

Teamwork
