Clinical Pharmacy (Primary Care)

This new part-time distance learning programme is designed for newly qualified pharmacists. It is the first of its kind in the UK.

The programme covers subjects such as:

• prescribing
• quality and service improvement

It enables you to:

• effectively work with health and social care providers across the primary care setting
• analyse, interpret and present medicines data to support decision making
• develop and monitor evidence based practice guidelines
• use consultation / communication skills to manage challenging situations
• make independent therapeutic decisions/recommendations

We are also able to offer you the opportunity to attend specialist clinical therapeutics study days alongside students on our secondary care MSc programme.
