Pharmaceutical Public Health is a developing specialty which seeks to influence pharmaceutical
health determinants on a population basis, rather than having a focus on the individual
patient. This is an introductory subject that introduces the main concepts and philosophies
of pharmaceutical public health. It will introduce the student to the roles of public
health, health determinants and the role of pharmacy within current public health
systems. It will also discuss the priorities for pharmaceutial public health, how
public health may be improved through pharmacy and how pharmaceutical public health
services can be implemented.
