This subject continues to develop areas of professional pharmacy practice, pharmaceutics
and counselling. In the pharmacy practice area, students will expand on their previous
knowledge in management to include financial management relating to pharmacy practice.
Pharmacy law and ethics will consider issues in contemporary practice, with a focus
on workplace law, negligence, privacy, digital health and ethical dilemmas. Students
will continue to develop skills in clinical dispensing and counselling and extemporaneous
dispensing. In the area of pharmaceutics, students will explore novel drug delivery
and biosimilar medications. Additionally, students will learn the theory and principles
of immunisation and be trained in the delivery of vaccinations in the pharmacy setting.
Students will continue development of their independent research skills development
and project. They will collect, collate and analyse research data in order to derive
robust research findings. Students will then critically examine their research findings
in relation to existing knowledge on their research topic and analyse the relevance
of these findings to pharmacy practice.
