Interesting Account

As a former history student and erstwhile professor of first-year property, The Law of the Land: The Advent of the Torrens System in Canada by Greg Taylor offered me an opportunity to engage in academic reading with just a hint of “night table book” indulgence. As the title suggests, the author carefully traces the development of the Torrens registration system in Australia and its subsequent reception within Canada — an undertaking that even those within the legal profession may find as dry as the dust on the land titles records. However laborious the research, the book itself manages to bring history to life; chasing clues from Adelaide to the United Kingdom National Archives to the records of the Toronto Globe in an attempt to divine the motives and influences of the Torrens prophets and their opponents. The result is an original and interesting account incorporating law and politics spanning some 150 years of Canadian history.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of Patient As Teacher (PAT) sessions on the knowledge, communication skills, and participation of pharmacy students in the United Kingdom.Methods: During the academic year 2019–2020, year 1 and 2 pharmacy students at the University of Central Lancashire were invited to complete a questionnaire following PAT sessions. Data were analyzed by means of descriptive statistics, including mean and standard deviation for: continuous variables and reliability analysis. Pearson’s chi-square or Fisher exact test, odds ratio, and phi were used for analyzing dichotomous variables. Thematic analysis was used for free text comments.Results: Sixty eight of 228 students participated (response rate of 29.8%). No statistical difference was found between gender (P=0.090); a statistically significant difference was found between year (P=0.008). Cronbach’s α (0.809) confirmed a good internal consistency. Ninety-seven percent of the students learned a lot, and 85.3% appreciated and valued the PAT sessions; 89.7% wanted more sessions. Ninety-two point seven percent perceived the sessions to contextualize their learning. Five questions were dichotomized by grouping the responses into negative and positive; 90.3% of responses were positive and did not show statistically significant differences in gender and year of study. Overall students’ free text comments were positive, but active listening and consultation appeared in the positive and negative domains, highlighting the need for more student engagement.Conclusion: PAT sessions had a positive impact on students’ knowledge, communication skills and participation, and contextualized learning. They provide a valuable contribution to the pharmacy students’ experience in the United Kingdom.
