Aims
Understand the principles of developing and delivering quality medicines for the prevention or treatment of disease and demonstrate the application of science in practice to ensure patient safety.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Demonstrate an understanding of an evidence-based approach to the management of health and disease.
2.
Explain the importance of drug design, pharmaceutical formulation and manufacture in ensuring the supply of safe medicines to patients.
3.
Develop and apply knowledge of systems-based pathophysiology, pharmacology and therapeutics to meet the distinct needs of patients.
4.
Explain the infectious disease processes, in the body and the population, and their responsible pharmaceutical treatment.
5.
Demonstrate appropriate practical and professional skills and implement strategies to address personal strengths and weaknesses.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:The application of science and practice to ensure that safe medicines are delivered to patients.
The principles of developing quality medicines through the processes of formulation and manufacture.
The pathophysiology, therapeutics and prevention of diseases of the cardiovascular, respiratory and central nervous systems.
Infectious disease processes in the body and the population, their responsible pharmaceutical treatment and conservation of the valuable antimicrobial resource.
How pharmacists can meet the distinct needs of particular patient groups
Module Overview:
Your studies will build upon the foundations of the previous year and continues the development of integrated multidisciplinary learning. You will learn the principles of developing quality medicines through the processes of formulation and manufacture, and the application of science and practice to ensure patient safety. This new knowledge and skills will then be revisited and contextualised into specific topics with the pathophysiology, therapeutics, and prevention of diseases focused on at this level. Topics include the cardiovascular, respiratory and central nervous systems along with infectious disease processes in the body and the population, their responsible pharmaceutical treatment and conservation of the valuable antimicrobial resource. You will also learn the necessary skills and knowledge of how pharmacists can meet the distinct needs of particular patient groups which is undertaken in the cycle of life topic.
