Advanced Pharmacy Practice

This online course prepares pharmacists for advanced practice and builds the knowledge, skills and attitudes that effective advanced practice requires. Content is mapped to professional development frameworks, and the Pharmacist Independent Prescribing qualification is required at diploma stage. Elective modules let students focus on areas relevant to their own practice. Some modules are co-taught with colleagues from the nursing, midwifery and paramedic school, which creates opportunities for interprofessional learning. The course is delivered part time with a January start and includes a virtual residential element. Applicants should review the application deadlines that apply to each intake. The course page sets out what you will study, how teaching and assessment work, placements, entry requirements and fees. Pharmacists who already practise will find the content directly applicable to advanced clinical roles. The part-time pattern allows study to continue alongside work.
