The right direction for the registration exam

摘要

I disagree with the recommendations by the British Pharmaceutical Students' Association (BPSA) that the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) should make changes in how preregistration trainees are assessed (The Pharmaceutical Journal 2015;295:72). Some of the concerns from the BPSA included that the June 2015 assessment papers did not reflect current practice and that some questions demanded an inappropriately high level of specialist clinical knowledge.
