What is the Invited Speaker LX? 

The Invited Speaker tool Learning Experience (LX) is an Endorsed Learning Experience that can be used to highlight a pharmacist's recognition as an expert or person of merit in a particular practice area. It indicates that a pharmacist has been formally invited by an organisation or professional body to deliver a keynote speech or share their professional experience with a target audience. 

The tool LX also aims to guide self-reflection on the impact of this experience on the pharmacists' current or future practice and set development goals for future experiences. 

It is a Workplace Based Assessment (WBA) that can be used for inclusion towards ANCAP recognition.  

Examples

• Key note speaker at a national or international conference. 

• Graduate representative of a training course speaking about the experience at an information night for prospective trainees 

• Invited as a SME to deliver educational content at an event

Invited Speaker Process 

Practice Recognition Level 

The pharmacist should indicate on the learning experience tool which of the three levels of practice recognition (resident, register, consultant) they are currently practicing at or a candidate for. 

The Invited Speaker Learning Experience is mapped to:

• Domain 1 & 4 of the National Competency Standards Framework for Pharmacists in Australia 2016.

•  Please note that not all the domain 1 & 4 indicators listed in this document may be relevant to this Learning Experience.

• Domain 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the Competence Standards for Pharmacists in Aotearoa New Zealand Pharmacists, 2023. Please note that not all the Domain 1, 2, 3 and 4 behaviours listed in these competence standards may be relevant to this Learning Experience.

Please refer to the ANZCAP recognition descriptors article for the further guidance on markers of performance for each ANZCAP recognition level. Please note that not all the domain 1 & 4 indicators listed in this document may be relevant to this Learning Experience.  

Collaborator 

Pharmacists may have engaged in discussion with professional peers, mentors or managers to encourage reflective practice. However, this is an Endorsed Learning Experience and therefore the final submission should be completed by the pharmacist without collaboration. 

Forms and Templates 

The Invited Speaker tool is available on the ANZCAP digital platform. Ideally pharmacists will enter relevant information into the digital tool after completion of the course. 

Alternatively, pharmacists may use a tool from their own workplace and upload it to the digital platform where they can then confirm completion of Evidence of the being an invited speaker is documented directly into the ANZCAP digital platform as an Endorsed Learning Experience (LX).   For further details step by step instructions on how to complete a Learning Experience on the ANZCAP digital platform do this please refer to the How to complete a Learning Experience article.

If ANZCAP members wish to use an invited speaker form/documentation from their own organisation, the completed form may be uploaded into the Supporting Evidence section of the LX. (Please note that for the LX to become validated the candidate must still complete all sections marked with an asterisk (*) and the collaborator must document their involvement via the electronic collaborator declaration process).
