An account to voice concern and disappointment.

[brokenprereg @thebrokenprereg]

@TheGPhC In summary: No changes made. No acknowledgement of the affect exam integrity compromise has on all candidates and the marking system. No apology for failures beyond delay. No acknowledgement of paper difficulty and framework non adherence.

[Ruby @Ruby69598823]

@gmabbam @TheGPhC Waste of time, terrible to get our hopes up like this when you've addressed nothing but claim you've addressed everything!? Shameful behaviour. Lost for words. Questioned weren't answered in the Q&A section, cherry picked responses. Feeling distraught and empty

[brokenprereg @thebrokenprereg]

@gmabbam @TheGPhC Respectfully this was not a listening session. GPhC read off scripts and gave robotic apologies. GPhC selected candidates to speak on experiences you were already aware of. A few filtered questions answered vaguely and we were signposted elsewhere again. Nothing achieved.

Imagine preparing for a registration exam for 5+ years and then having to protest for equality and fairness! Please hear us out, we need change 🙏🏽@TheGPhC @the_pda @rpharms @ChemistDruggist

@TheGPhC @GPPharmaSid Will the people responsible for this debacle be stepping down?

[Tohidul Islam MRPharmS 🇵🇸 @TohidMPharm]

@Cleverestcookie @TheGPhC @GPPharmaSid Ultimately the @TheGPhC. Irrelevant whos fault it was. They should have had contingencies in place. They didn’t. Trainees suffered. Someone needs to take responsibility instead of just “listening and learning”.

[Amirah @Amirahs123]

All the gphc seem to pay any attention to are Delays. Noise disruptions and technical problems ARE significant problems too and need to be addressed. @TheGPhC @ThePhoenix_90 @GPHCDOBETTER

[Amirah @Amirahs123]

It's been 19 days since the exam and our problems have still not been addressed properly. How much longer do we have to wait? @TheGPhC @ThePhoenix_90 @GPHCDOBETTER

[zoë @_zelizabeth]

Are @TheGPhC giving trainee pharmacists any update on the outcome of their meetings?????? Are we just meant to wait until results day and hope for the best

@TheGPhC Lower the grade boundaries to compensate for the use of calculators in paper 2!

[Umar Majid @umarmajidpharm]

Proposed possible outcomes

Loss of earnings, for every Trainee Pharmacist, from August until December as they’ve not been given a fair exam

A switch to a paper exam prepared with the utmost urgency

All trainees refunded in full, with no payment made for future attempts

[AlanWainwright @Absobaloff]

@TheGPhC 1. You cannot prove the exam was conducted fairly amongst all candidates.
2. All candidates are affected- directly or indirectly.
3. Quantify “severely”.

This examination was a complete failure, if this is deemed acceptable by a regulatory body, they they are unfit to regulate

[brokenprereg @thebrokenprereg]

@TheGPhC What classifies as ‘major’ or ‘significant’? anything that disrupts a candidates focus or practical ability to complete even one question could be significant as it could be the decider between pass of fail. Noise or technical issue does not have to be constant to be disruptive

[Helenthecurlyhead @meyne_helen]

@TheGPhC I don't believe that it is fair to apply these conditions only to those who haven't failed before. Where is the logic to that? Anyone can have a bad day in an exam, but it appears pretty much everyone that sat this one had a bad day through no fault of their own!!!

[wonderer @Krispy862]

@Amirahs123 @TheGPhC Any disruption to an official exam is surely significant? #gphc

[brokenprereg @thebrokenprereg]

@TheGPhC This still ignores major issues, trying to pacify some candidates to reduce the amount of criticism recieved is not a fair solution for all. Address exam integrity compromise, address noise disruption, address framework non adherence

[David France @frandavi99]

@DigitalPhamcist I sat the exam 13 years ago and seem to recall it was short one or two calculation questions.

The people expecting us to get 80% in calcs couldn’t count to 20. Since then they’ve just got worse. If I did that as a pharmacist they’d have my registration.

[Pharmacy @prereg2022]

If so many students are enquiring about nullification of exam, surely there must be something wrong with the actual exam?! #gphc things need to change

[Sara @Sara951233]

I can't believe I revised for 10 months and then found out that high weighted is not high weighted and can be low weighted but low weighted can be high weighted and medium weighted could be high or low or medium. HAHAHA @TheGPhC @GPHCDOBETTER

[. @widitjrksjfj]

@TheGPhC Lower the grade boundaries… people had calculators in paper 2. You know better than us how much mental maths we had to do in that paper. Not fair.
