The pharmacist arranges a time suitable with the collaborator (trained ClinCAT evaluator) to engage in the ClinCAT process. The pharmacist and collaborator should also confirm the practice recognition level and clinical setting/topic that the pharmacist is currently working towards.
The pharmacist completes the self-assessment component of the ‘Clinical Competency Achievement Tool for Australian Pharmacists’.
The collaborator (trained ClinCAT evaluator) observes the pharmacist for 1 to 2 hours during a period that reflects their most common professional role.
The collaborator (trained ClinCAT evaluator) completes the evaluation assessment component of the ‘Clinical Competency Achievement Tool for Australian Pharmacists’.
The pharmacist and collaborator (trained ClinCAT evaluator) complete the reflection and feedback session and use this discussion to complete a professional development plan (final two pages of the achievement tool). Ideally this should happen within a reasonable time after the observation period to ensure both pharmacist and collaborator can recall key events.
