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. However, in the implementation of pharmaceutical public health services it
is still important for pharmacists to possess a current knowledge of the clinical
management of key disease states. This is one of a series of subjects that review
both the clinical management and the pharmacuetical public health issues associated
with a range of key disease states. This subject focusses mainly on three pharmaceutical
public health priority areas: Immunisation, Sexual and Reproductive Health and Respiratory
disease. This subject introduces the student to the pharmaceutical public health issues
associated with these diseases and some clinical management issues.
