• W2514355792 abstract "It is particularly rewarding to see that in this edition of the Journal several of the main pieces have focused upon issues relating to pharmacy students, pharmacy interns and early career pharmacists. This comes at a time when there is an increasing and justifiable focus upon this sector of The pharmacy profession. Recent developments have seen The Society of Hospital Pharmacists of Australia (SHPA) announce that it will waive membership fees for students studying a pharmacy undergraduate degree,1 while the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia (PSA) has flagged its intention to establish a dedicated position for an early career pharmacist to serve on the PSA Council.2 Both of these organisations have taken prescient actions to support and nurture future practitioners who in the fullness of time will assume more senior leadership roles and will take forward the noble profession of pharmacy into the future. Although it is gratifying to see these investments in the future of pharmacy by major professional bodies, from time to time it is worth taking stock of the way in which we foster talent at the grassroots level. When asked to think carefully, most senior healthcare practitioners (including those in hospital pharmacy) can look back to times in their formative years when the generous support of an accomplished and influential colleague provided welcome support. Preparing this editorial gave this commentator cause to reflect upon key career influences, and fortunately there have been many, not the least of which has been the far-reaching influence of Professor Lloyd Sansom – a friend, mentor and role model to so many people around Australia and around the world. Interestingly, in the course of researching this piece, a re-reading of Professor Sansom's recent oration delivered on the occasion of his acceptance of the 2014 Fred J Boyd award revealed that he commenced with an acknowledgement of people that he valued as his own mentors and key professional influences, including Lance Jeffs, Neil Naismith and Pam Nieman (all of whom could be counted as influential in the professional development of so many in our profession).3 In the oration, Professor Sansom acknowledges that he ‘met these three people early in [his] career and they were wonderful mentors and inspirational leaders, they transformed and shaped hospital pharmacy practice in those critical years of the 1970s and 1980s: from basement to patient’.3 In short, one of the most respected, visionary and inspirational people to have ever practiced pharmacy in Australia has publicly acknowledged those whose influences shaped and guided his subsequently great career, and the symbolism of this should not be lost to anyone. The point of all of this discussion is to highlight to readers obligations that current members of the profession have to those who represent the future of our profession. Of course it is critical for those providing pharmacy services to do so in a way that reliably and safely puts the patient at the core of everything we do. It goes without saying that all should strive to provide appropriate services of the highest standard. However, in doing so it is also important that today's practitioners should be prepared to play their part in guiding the development of the less senior members of our profession, including pharmacy students and interns as early career practitioners. This type of obligation is not lost on other professions who render patient care. For example, the Hippocratic Oath that is still widely used to guide medical doctors entering that profession actually begins with the phrase ‘I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow’.4 The intent is clear: practitioners should be generous with their assistance in teaching the art and science of medicine to others. In doing so, not only do they convey technical knowledge to the next generation who will become senior practitioners in the future, but also their actions will have served to instil a sense of obligation towards the development of further generations of those who will ultimately serve the profession. Deconstructing this phenomenology provides a powerful message for those of us who now practice pharmacy. Regardless of the practice setting, we all have an obligation to share our knowledge, to model good practice, to provide technical mentorship, and to safeguard the future of our profession by helping to ensure that the pharmacists of tomorrow can apply the science and craft of our discipline in the safe and effective care of patients. Moreover, the message to the younger practitioners who can benefit from the support provided by their more senior colleagues is clear - they themselves should in turn ultimately expect to serve as role models and teachers for future generations. It is important to note that these obligations have a reciprocal nature. Not only do senior professionals have a responsibility to guide practitioners in development, but also younger practitioners have an obligation to accept this guidance gracefully, with gratitude and respect, and to heed the message implied as regards their own future obligations to generations that will follow in their footsteps. At a time where the demands of contemporary practice place increasing pressure upon the profession, and where there is a constant demand to ‘do more with less’, it is easy to lose sight of this other aspect of our obligations in practice. When next we are approached to teach a tutorial for pharmacy students, to supervise a pharmacist in training, to mentor an intern in their pre-registration year, or simply to provide experiential teaching that allows an opportunity to learn by doing, it will be important for us to consciously acknowledge our responsibilities to the profession. Today's practitioners provide the basis for tomorrow's profession, and with this in mind it is important that we should always act in a way that leaves a legacy of which we can be proud." @default.
