Aims

To prepare each student at an advanced level for the multidisciplinary role of a pharmacist as a clinician, a public health worker, an educator, a scientist, a medicines safeguard, and overall a professional.

Module Content

Outline Syllabus:At Level 7, highly complex patient-centred and population-based scenarios will be utilised to ensure the student is able to respond appropriately to the concepts and challenging problems inherent in delivering quality healthcare. The module will consider how health policy impacts on the provision of health and social care services to individuals and the public. The underlying concept is advancing practice and continues an interdisciplinary level of integration of subject matter and skills. The module is conceptually built from 4 interlinked strands, each of which runs throughout level 7, with individual topics often transcending strands. These strands are: • Individual Research Project • Specialist Care Topics • Clinical Skills and Practice • Preparing for Professional Practice
Module Overview:
Your final year focuses on utilising highly complex patient-centred and population-based scenarios to ensure you are able to respond appropriately to the complicated concepts and challenging problems inherent in delivering quality healthcare. You will consider how health policy impacts on the provision of health and social care services for both individuals and the public. The transition of patient care between care settings (for example, from hospital to community care) will be explored, with a focus on the pharmacists role in improving patient outcomes and minimising the disruption to good care during and around the period of transfer, and beyond. Specialist areas of practice will be covered in multi-disciplinary sessions (Masterclasses) delivered by expert speakers that will provide you with an understanding of the highly complex nature of health care and the impact of the pharmacists role on patients health and social wellbeing. The professional development strand will involve more challenging consultation scenarios and calculations, and further develop formative leadership and management skills. Building upon the research from the previous year, you will utilise and apply your independent-research and critical analysis skills to an extended research project.
Additional Information:This module forms the final 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 not be released unless all competencies (C1-C4) are achieved.
