PhwSI generic competency framework

This framework has been developed to support the accreditation process for Pharmacists with a Special Interest, and to clarify their level of specialist practice.   This framework will need to be reviewed in line with any future National Occupational Standards (NOS) for pharmacy.  The framework may be useful for:

•  Pharmacist practitioners who wish to put themselves forward for accreditation as a PhwSI
• Organisations or bodies who accredit pharmacists with special interests
  Local commissioners who are preparing specifications for services to be delivered by PhwSIs   
• Practitioners to identify their development needs if they wish to become PhwSI in the future.

The framework is generic and is intended to apply to all PhwSI specialties
