Integration through practice: Do students integrate and apply their first year knowledge to practice as evidenced in an ePortfolio?

Background: General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) Standard Outcome requirements for the initial training and education of pharmacists require students to develop a reflective approach to their personal and developing professional practice in order to: review and monitor their performance; create and implement personal development plans. Integration of science into practice is a key aspect of recent changes to pharmacy education. Training in these reflective skills at an undergraduate level fosters good practice, and may help in student integration of science and practice.
