The final year has the theme of pharmaceutical practice. Your study of pharmacology and therapeutics continues and is linked to modules on pharmaceutical care. These cover the practice of pharmacy in the primary and secondary care sectors with a focus upon the clinical aspects of pharmaceutical care. Studies in the University will be developed by sessions in local hospitals. The final year optional studies module provides a choice from a wide range of subjects.
Examples are health service management, cancer therapy, infectious diseases and clinical pharmacy.
You will also complete a research project which may be undertaken in one of the School's research laboratories, in hospital or community practice or in a general medical practice. Your professional education begins in your first term with us and continues throughout the course. You will benefit from being taught by practising pharmacists from hospitals, community pharmacies and industry. A feature of our course is that it provides a logical development of key skills that are of direct relevance to the practice of pharmacy. We have close links with local NHS Hospital Trusts and in the final year clinical pharmacy course, there is ward-based teaching in six major, general hospitals.
