General Pharmacy Practice MSc

This programme provides general-level hospital pharmacists registered with the GPhC and working with the core skills required to provide holistic pharmaceutical care in the practice setting. The programme aligns with a nationally agreed pharmacy practitioner development strategy and is the result of a unique collaboration of higher education institutions across London and the south and east of England. The programme develops your knowledge and skills in clinical pharmacy practice and medicines management. It works on a philosophy of student-centred workplace learning, supported by workbooks and contact days facilitated by experienced pharmacy practitioners. You are expected to take responsibility for managing your learning and achieving the programme objectives. The ethos and culture of the programme is to enhance and develop self-reliance and an adult approach to learning in support of continuing professional development. The MSc aims are to: investigate a topic in depth; evaluate current practice or a new service; publish research and advance knowledge in pharmacy practice; develop skills you require for the RPS Advanced Pharmacy Framework; inspire you and others in your workplace to carry out much needed practice research; support your future career and perhaps to help you explore new career paths. This programme provides progression for pharmacists towards advanced practitioner status. Completion of the practice elements of the course leads to the award of the Certificate of Completion of General Pharmacist Training from an accredited training centre.
