Module Content

Outline Syllabus:
The syllabus for level 5 MPharm can be viewed in the 5000MPHARM module
Module Overview:
This module is solely for assessment and this assessment focuses on student knowledge and understanding of how the Law applies to pharmacy practice.
Additional Information:
This module is for summative assessment only. All learning, formative assessment and feedback for this assessment are included in the content module 5000MPHARM, underpinned by learning from 4000MPHARM.

Students will take an invigilated test of their knowledge and understanding of pharmacy law and ethics. 

To ensure the programme aligns to the GPhC commitment to patient safety, any serious concerns that are identified within the assessment will be reviewed by a panel of pharmacists. If the concern raised is deemed to pose a risk to patient safety, the student will FAIL the assessment, even if they have achieved the required pass score.

Students must be successful in the module to progress to the next level of study.

No compensation, no trailing.
