Our group performed a play around a case scenario where we acted as an allied health team to formulate a treatment plan for Patricia Jones, an elderly woman who developed secondary brain metastases after a car crash. Despite our mistakes, this assessment showed us what our future workplace will be like.

Though the assignment context was new to me, I attempted to integrate what little knowledge and experience I did have into my character role as a community pharmacist. I have little experience in pharmacy, having only spoken with local pharmacists and partaken in a week of work experience. Yet, what I observed was that pharmacists adhere to their patient’s needs and treat them like friends, not business clients.

Had we all decided on one idea, thoroughly investigated our roles and brainstormed how to have our character’s work together to formulate a treatment plan for Patty, we could have gained a higher mark.
The skills we attempted to display (interprofessional communication, patient-centred care, empathy, first, second and third person skills) are critical in clinical practice, as Dr Zoe Hazelwood highlights in her I’m Listening textbook.1
