APPEL
@appel.ie
APPEL (Affiliation for Pharmacy Practice Experiential Learning) manages the experiential learning placements, of the integrated pharmacy programmes of the three Schools of Pharmacy in Ireland. APPEL is a unique collaboration between University College Cork (UCC), the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) and Trinity College Dublin (TCD). APPEL provides a single point of contact for supervisors, training establishments, and students for all placement activities. What led to the formation of APPEL? The Pharmaceutical Society of Ireland (PSI, the pharmacy regulator) commissioned a review of pharmacy education called the PEARs project (Pharmacy Education and Accreditation Reviews Project). One significant recommendation from this report was to replace the traditional 4+1 model (4-year bachelor’s degree + 1 year in-service practical training) of pre-registration pharmacy education with a 5-year fully integrated programme. S.I. No. 377 of 2014 legislated for the introduction of this new programme. Third-party posts on this wall do not imply endorsement of that content by APPEL.
