MPharm interim event submission template - for events in the 2018-19 academic year 2

The interim event

The interim event is divided into 4 components:

Submission of documentation

Prior to the interim event a completed submission template together with supporting documentation must be submitted to the GPhC in line with the agreed timescales. The documentation will be reviewed by the accreditation team to decide if it is satisfactory to provide a basis for discussion.

Pre-visit

In advance of the main visit, a pre-visit meeting will take place. The purpose of the pre-visit meeting is to prepare for the event, allow the GPhC and School to ask any questions or seek clarification, and to finalise arrangements for the visit.

Satellite visits

A number of satellite visits will take place to allow team members to observe off-site activities in advance of the main visit.

Main visit

The main visit takes place on site at the university and comprises a series of meetings with staff and students of the university, along with observations of a number of teaching and learning activities.

General notes regarding completion of the template

Except where single pieces of information or lists are asked for, your commentary must be written in prose. Directions to other documents only will not be accepted.

Any diagrams or images should be submitted as documentary evidence and not embedded with the tables.

Hyperlinks may be used within your commentary to signpost to evidence but please check that the links are not broken and that external access is permitted.

Please ensure that all documentary evidence provided is referred to within your commentary. Supporting documents should be included as appendices and should be provided separately from

the submission template. Each module must be referred to by its full title and not by module code.

Referencing documentary evidence

Please give each piece of evidence a clear and meaningful title. For ease of reference, supporting documents should be numbered accordingly.

The document title referred to in your commentary should be identical to the name of the relevant .PDF file you have provided.

Please ensure that all file names are concise and do not contain any special characters including: / \ : * ? ” < > | # { } % ~ &

You do not need to duplicate evidence - you may find that you need to refer to one piece of documentary evidence multiple times across more than one section.

When referencing supporting documents within the submission, please indicate the document clearly (for example, in bold) and use the full name and appendix number throughout.

NB. When completing your submission, please do not alter the formatting or orientation of the submission template.
