Peer assessment was identified as a potential method for use across the sector and geographical boundaries. The aim was to establish a model for a national peer assessment tool to support Early Careers Pharmacists (ECPs) development.</p> <p><strong>Method:</strong> Participating ECP submitted cases using a standard template to be anonymised and distributed to three peer reviewers. An external supervisor provided a final agreement on the feedback given.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> Two hundred and fifty pharmacists participated in peer assessment from a range of sectors and locations.   75.5% (n=566) of potential peer reviews were completed with an average score at expected standard for an ECPs. Commonality of sector experience between submitter and peer did not affect scoring.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> These findings support acceptability and feasibility of asynchronous pharmacy peer assessment across sector and geographical boundaries.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Pharmacy Education}, author={Clymer, Frances and Gibson , David}, year={2022}, month={Jun.}, pages={p. 595–608} }
