Why study the Graduate Diploma in Clinical Pharmacy?
This program provides students with a broad range of knowledge, skills and resources to practise effectively as a clinical pharmacy practitioner involved in the quality use of medicines and pharmaceutical care. These skills include the capacity to individualise, review and monitor a patient's medication regimen; demonstrate effective communication skills in clinical and non-clinical scenarios; critically appraise medical and pharmaceutical literature, as well as to recognise and describe social issues relating to medicine use. In addition pharmacists will gain insight into contemporary management strategies for pharmacy and health care as well as explore research and evaluation of pharmacy services and practice.
What you can study

Offering the best of both worlds, two optional face to face intensive weekends will allow in depth practical application in lieu of some online content, which is more difficult to deliver web based.

The courses offer some online didactic lectures and a variety of other, interactive learning experiences. Practitioners and academics teach the courses with expert hospital and community pharmacists contributing significantly to the teaching, together with medical and other healthcare professionals. Regular updates of the course integrate emerging clinical evidence and current controversies. A major strength of the program is the emphasis on developing clinical practice and the integration of evidence based medicine.
