care context. Pharmacy practice occurs in a variety of settings including hospitals,
the community, the armed forces, industry and in government. Students are introduced

professionalism and professional standards. Students are familiarised with the skills
necessary to effectively communicate with patients and other health care professionals,
in the provision of quality primary and secondary health care in urban areas. Students
