This subject introduces students to hospital pharmacy, the policies and standards
underpinning clinical pharmacy and the scope of clinical services and specialist pharmacist
roles. The concept of pharmaceutical care will be explored and patient counselling
will be introduced. Students will have the opportunity to contextualise this knowledge
in an observational placement. 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. 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 extemporaneous dispensing, carrying out more advanced calculations and
preparing more complex pharmaceutical products.
