This subject introduces students to hospital and clinical pharmacy and the policies
and standards underpinning clinical pharmacy services and specialist pharmacist roles.
Students will contextualise this knowledge in an observational placement. The concept
of pharmaceutical care will be explored and students will be introduced to the areas
of patient history taking and care planning. To further situate the student in the
clinical environment, students will be familiarised with basic haematology, the interpretation
of laboratory values, as well as therapeutic drug monitoring. Student understanding
of marketing in pharmacy practice will be developed including the principles and influencing
factors of consumer behaviour, thus informing the provision of quality health care.
The underlying chemistry of complementary and alternative medicines (CAMS) will be
introduced to inform the therapeutic use of CAMS. Student knowledge in pharmaceutics
will be further developed in the consideration of liquid and modified release dosage
forms. Students will continue to develop their knowledge and skills in compounding,
carrying out more advanced calculations and preparing more complex pharmaceutical
products.
