IMPROVING PASS RATES FOR BLACK-AFRICAN PRE-REG PHARMACISTS

摘要

The General Pharmaceutical Council will hold a seminar with the charity Equality Challenge Unit to investigate why pre-registration pharmacists from a Black-African background have the lowest pass rate for registration assessment. Latest figures from the professional regulator reveal that 72% of students who classified themselves as Black-African passed the assessment exams in June 2014, which shows they performed "significantly less well" than other candidates.
