Credit points: 15
Subject outline
In this subject, students will explore information sources to determine the true therapeutic place of various treatment regimes, using an evidence-based medicine approach, and how this information can be conveyed to the patient and other health care providers so that therapy is optimised. Students will develop skills to problem solve and apply therapeutic knowledge in a pharmacy practice setting to assist with optimising patient care. An integrated approach is utilised that explores the pharmacist's role as part of the health care team. This subject introduces new topics on common illnesses and incorporates prior knowledge into contemporary clinical practice. Placement, role-plays, clinical scenarios, case studies, Meds Checks and Home Medication Reviews ensure that students will be introduced to the current roles of pharmacists in the delivery of pharmaceutical care.
