7PY023- Frontiers in Pharmacy Assessment Brief and Guidance

Learning outcomes for the FIP assessment:

 LO1: Develop strategies for working with patients, the public and healthcare professionals
 LO2: Critique approaches to the maintenance of good health and the management of disease in
the public/population
 LO3: Develop strategies to supervise others and lead change

Word count

 The total word count for this campaign assignment is 2500 words – this includes all titles and
tables. There is a 10% overage tolerance on the wordcount. References and in-text references
are included in this word count.
 If the word count is 10-20% above or under 2500 words your grade will be reduced by one step
(i.e.,65 to 62)
 If the word count is over/under by 20% then your mark will be reduced by one classification (i.e.,
from 65 to 55)
 Please see the step marking criteria included in the assessment brief for further information.
 All work must be referenced using Harvard referencing.

You must complete the assessment on your own. Evidence of cheating will be reported for suspected
academic misconduct. University guidance on academic misconduct and definitions can be found at:

 Include the reasons why this specific topic is important and/or relevant
 Include any local/national stastics that support your rationale
 Critique and analyse the research supporting the evidence base of your campaign and how it links
to LO2 ( See the Canvas page for the FIP assessment for LO’s)
 Critique and analyse the choice of target group for the campaign (refer back to the NHS long-term
plan or other Government schemes where appropiate)

Section two: Description of the campaign to be implemented [campaign materials to be appended]

Section two guidance

 Your campaign should be described as if you were running a health campaign on behalf of a
Healthy Living Pharmacy
 Include how the roles of other members of the pharmacy team will be utilised for this campaign

 Include details of any MDT work you will undertake as part of, or for this campaign
 Provide an example of ONE piece of promotional material summarising the key points you are
trying to convey from this campaign. Please include this in the Appendix
 The promotional material can be either a poster, leaflet, presentation, or any other form of
literature that you will use to promote your campaign.
 If you are submitting a poster or presentation, please remember to submit this within the
campaign assessment template word document e.g., as images or screen shots that can be
clearly viewed

Section three: Evaluation of your health campaign

Section three guidance

 Identify and critique the limitations of your health campaign: e.g., resourcing and time allocation
Please note as part of a HLP you will still be expected to carry out day to day pharmacist duties, or
have these covered so that the pharmacy can run for the duration of the campaign. Think about
the cost implications that this would have on the pharmacy
 Include examples of how you will ensure your campaign has longevity
 Include any follow up, if required
 GRADING CRITERIA FOR LEVEL 7 COURSEWORK
Grades will be awarded on the basis of closest fit with class descriptions. Within class, higher grades will be awarded to work displaying positive characteristics
to a stronger extent and/or occasionally meeting some standards of higher-class work. Lower grades will be awarded to work displaying positive characteristics
to a lesser extent and/or showing elements of lower-class work.
