The primary aim of the programme is to equip students with the core skills and competencies required to deliver safe and effective pharmaceutical care in their practice setting at their expected level of practice. The course works on a philosophy of student-centred workplace learning. The ethos and culture of the course are to enhance and develop self-reliance and an adult approach to learning in support of continuing professional development.
