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
How are we supposed to familiarise ourself with this new algorithm we've never seen, read the question, do all the conversions and working out and check our working in 3 mins @TheGPhC@ThePhoenix_90 @GPHCDOBETTER
I am in the same boat, I failed by a couple marks in clinical last July and delayed my second sitting to June this year. I have been left jobless, unsupported, and unheard. 😔 @TheGPhC@gmabbam@BBCNews
@sam_9907 @Bani95k @TheGPhC@TheGPhC appointing Duncan Rudkin; a French/Spanish graduate as CEO of the #gphc is like having a Prime minister with Zero political background. How can we have faith in the gphc when the CEO has zero pharmacy related qualifications? Yet our future lies in their hands?? #gphcexam
I feel a pharmacist with vast experience in implementation who truly understands the profession should be director/head of @TheGPhC. I believe if someone was appointed from the profession their regulations would reflect practice and we wouldn’t be dealing with exam problems.
@Daniel53055880 And @TheGPhC didn't even bother to tweet their sorry excuse for an email from their account. Why? Because they don't want pre-regs to start commenting. Again covering their own backs and just putting 'statements' out for the sake of it. #gphcexam
@ThePhoenix_90@TheGPhC The GPhC board is an absolute joke. They all care about their positions that’s all. They never followed any of their standards when writing this exam and all the people on the register can agree with that. I challenge any of the GPhC board to sit paper 1 in timed condition.
@TheGPhC I seriously question #DuncanRudkin's 'fitness to practice' as CEO, since he has continuously failed to address ALL concerns raised by candidates regarding the June 22 #gphcexam. If the exam followed a blueprint then why have so many raised concerns about difficulty??
@TheGPhC
Many Trainee pharmacists like myself will NOT be honoured to Join a Board that does NOT care about their trainees mental health. It’s very clear that the GPhC did NOT follow any of their standards when sending that email today. #GPhC#mentalhealth
@TheGPhC
The email sent today was pathetic. You clearly do NOT care about the trainee pharmacist emotions and mental health. You keep them waiting every week for a nonsense email. This an absolute Joke. #GPhC
@TheGPhC If only you were this committed to your actual role and Properly functioned as a governing body. But you continually let down trainee pharmacists. #gphcexam
Another trainee: "I've sacrificed my family life, my husband supported me, I was confident to sit exam and pass... not to sit a paper that's shocking"
#gphcexam
Protesters have three asks:
1. Students who fail should not have this exam counted as one of their three attempts.
2. Issues other than severe delays should treated as grounds for appeal.
3. Trainees should only have to repeat the specific paper they fail.
@p_shoots@TheGPhC@gmabbam@BBCNews gphc should be looking at why students fail and support them in order to qualify, not sit back and leave those who failed previously to just linger and lose motivation.They don’t seem bothered about resit students and only focus on those sitting the exam for the first time.
@nskas7 @TheGPhC They will probably reply end of this week and then it will be results day, literally no point in them even emailing us then. I don’t understand why the Gphc can’t escalate issues quick and resolve them, disappointed in them.
