You must complete all steps on the process to successfully declare competence.
Step 4 – recommended learning
CPPE Step 2 in the DoC pathway shows you the recommended learning to achieve competence under this framework. It is recommended that you complete the learning listed in this section. If you choose to access different sources of learning, you should ensure they meet the competency requirements in the self-assessment tool.
Step 5 – supporting assessments
CPPE step 3 shows you the recommended assessment tools you can you to demonstrate competence in the areas covered by the learning resources. If you choose to use different tools to assess competence you should first ensure they meet the needs of the self-assessment tool.
Step 6 – print your statement of declaration
You can use the first link on this page (CPPE step 1) to print a blank Declaration of Competence Self-Assessment.
Your statement declaration (CPPE step 4) will auto populate with any relevant CPPE learning you have undertaken. You may also insert by hand any additional learning and assessment resources you have accessed to become competent.
Once completed, you must keep your record safe as it will be required should you later be called on to prove your competence.
Step 7 – Update your CPPE record
You must use this section to confirm that you have updated your statement of declaration and indicate the date the document was signed.
By completing CPPE step 5 you are confirming that you meet all the competencies in the DoC framework and you can provide evidence to that effect. Making a declaration whilst not meeting the competencies may constitute or be treated as a fitness to practise issue.
Once completed, you must keep your declaration safe. Before you provide any service under this Declaration of Competence, you must supply a copy of your Statement to each pharmacy where you provide that service.
Step 8 – enrol on the PharmOutcomes platform
