This subject introduces students to ethical issues in professional practice and explores
management practices relevant to community pharmacy. The scientific basis of solid
and liquid dosage form design will be covered, including packaging, labelling, transportation
and storage requirements of pharmaceuticals. The role of complementary medicines in
pharmacy will also be introduced. Students will further develop skills in compounding
including calculations and more advanced techniques in the production of pharmaceutical
formulations. Students will also be introduced to basic principles of pharmacokinetics
and pharmacodynamics and consider their application to pharmacy practice. Students
will learn about quality control procedures in the pharmaceutical industry, including
pharmacopoeial quality testing of solid dosage forms. Students will attend an observational
