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.

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.
Additional Information:This module forms the second year of the integrated masters in Pharmacy. There is a requirement (agreed variance from the Academic Framework) that all assessment components must be passed at the module pass mark or higher for the module to be passed. No credit will be released unless all competencies (C1-C6) are achieved.
