He should ask one of the locums he uses when he is on holiday

He works full time and rarely sees his locums. They could be asked as they understand the role, but may not be the most suitable choices.

Suggest James asks one of his patients who knows him quite well as he socialises with some of them at the weekend

A patient could be asked if they were an expert in a certain condition or had a very good understanding of James’ role and responsibilities. However, it would be inappropriate to ask someone who is close to James as this would potentially inhibit objectivity within the discussion.

He should ask a former pharmacy colleague in a similar position who has an understanding of his role and activities even though he works for another community pharmacy in a town 30 miles away

This would be an acceptable means of choosing a peer for James.

He should ask if anyone at the GP surgery has a spare hour to have the discussion

Although another healthcare professional or non-healthcare professional can be a peer, James should focus carefully on who he chooses. A spare hour is perhaps not enough to get the best out of this reflective exercise.
