 Pharmacy technician graduates need to have a solid foundation in science to underpin the pharmaceutical and the clinical knowledge required to provide high quality and safe patient care. Over the last seven years the program team has undertaken a quality enhancement regime. This has been informed by national policy and local DIT teaching and learning strategy as well as by employer and student feedback. We have implemented changes that have been thoroughly evaluated through formal education research projects and through teaching fellowships and we have disseminated our successes to the wider pharmacy and higher education communities. Along with implementing best practice in our core teaching we have introduced many high impact activities throughout the program including career development workshops, volunteering, integrated case studies and ethical debates. Student learning from these activities has been formalized in a professional development module where students can articulate and reflect on their learning journey in an e- portfolio. We have also focused on the transition into the program for diverse student body through engagement with the DIT first-year transition strategy and an extended induction program. We continually review our work placement module. Our students are supported throughout the placement by a supervising pharmacist who ensures their core competencies are developed which we see as a capstone activity to complete the development of our pharmacy technicians and support transition out of education and into employment.
