Course summary

This course is open to UK-registered pharmacists with patient-facing roles across all sectors of practice. In partnership with workplaces across the region, a team of academic and practice experts have crafted this diploma to support pharmacists to develop the skills needed to deliver excellent person-centred care and to meet the challenges of a rapidly advancing profession. Mapped to the Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) Post-registration Foundation Framework, this PGDip provides opportunity to gather portfolio evidence, if you are working towards RPS credentialing. In your first year you will develop your personal and professional skills, plus your clinical skills for a range of long-term conditions. This offers you an excellent foundation of the clinical skills and knowledge needed to deliver safe and effective patient care, coupled with the teamwork, communication, educational and professional skills needed to deliver this with optimal efficacy. In the second year, you will focus on delivering high-quality care across a range of specialist conditions and on service improvement in practice. You will have a choice of optional modules including independent prescribing, allowing you to tailor your learning. You'll work in partnership with academics and designated work-based educational supervisors. This practice-based approach supports authentic assessment, based directly on your experiences of practice. You will undertake learning needs analyses across the duration of the course to inform development of individualised learning plans. The School of Healthcare is part of the Faculty of Medicine and Health, a centre of excellence in the provision of high-quality education and research which develops knowledge that informs and improves practice. You can also study this subject at Master of Science level.
