Course programme
The modules for this course can be found in the latest programme specification.
This programme provides education and training for early career pharmacists to develop their knowledge and skills whilst working in a GP practice. Working as part of a multidisciplinary team is key to the development of relationships and experience in any clinical setting and the University of Bradford School of Pharmacy & Medical Sciences is well positioned to ensure that multidisciplinary learning and working is at the forefront of the course design due to its close involvement with programmes for other allied health professionals including physician associates, nurses and paramedics.
You will normally complete a 30 credit module each semester and therefore 60 credits per year.
There are four core modules across years 1 and 2 (120 credits). There is however ample opportunity for choice within each module in relation to the nature of patient care plans produced and work based learning assignments as well as the chosen area of competence in prescribing practice.
All modules have been mapped to the RPS Foundation Pharmacist Framework.
- Foundations in Primary Care
- Advanced Communication Skills
- Advanced Therapeutics
- Prescribing for Pharmacists (all core)
