PMP103
Practice of Pharmacy
This module aims to develop your knowledge in the areas of Pharmacy Practice and Clinical Pharmacy:
This module introduces the varied roles of pharmacists and their place within healthcare systems and wider society. Students will be introduced to the concept of patient-centered care and health-related quality of life. This module focusses on important skills and competencies such as communication, pharmaceutical calculations, making differential diagnoses and respond to symptoms in the community. Social and behavioural aspects of pharmacy are also introduced, relating how these factors can impact on the health and wellbeing of a community. The concept of pharmacists as lifelong learners is considered with the use of reflective practice to inform future learning objectives and the continuation of professional development.
Content will include pharmacy practice, pharmacy law and pharmaceutical ethics, and placements.
The concept of integration is introduced incrementally in Year 1 through integrated case studies, which will link two or more of the modules. Due to the integrated, spiral nature of the curriculum, learning outcomes from this module will also be reinforced and contextualised by learning delivered within the Health, Disease and Patient (PMP-101) and Drugs and Medicines (PMP-102) modules. Likewise, learning outcomes primarily delivered within those modules may also be covered during this module to ensure that students' scientific knowledge related to and informs their clinical practice. Skills in professionalism will be reinforced and contextualised by learning delivered within the Pharmacist as a Professional (PMP-100) module.

PMP201
Patient-Centred Learning I (PCLI)
The PMP201 is the first of the three Patient-Centred Learning (PCL) modules delivered in Years 2 &3 of the B230, M.Pharm Pharmacy (Hons) programme. This semester-long (11 weeks) module encompasses 4 vertically integrated study units (ISU), including cardiovascular (CVS), respiratory (RES), Infection (INF) and gastrointestinal (GIS). Further, PMP201 horizontally spirals up with the 7 subject themes: pharmaceutics, pharmaceutical chemistry, cellular & molecular biosciences, anatomy & physiology, pharmacology & therapeutics, clinical pharm223acy, and pharmacy practice.
The module aims to enable students to reasonably apply their fundamental knowledge (drugs & medicines, health, disease and patient, and practice of pharmacy) acquired from the Year 1 module (PMP101, PMP102 and PMP103) to the patient and people-centred professional scenarios. The module aims to enable students to transfer knowledge from educational and psychological, pharmaceutical, pharmacological theories into solving problems and making decisions in new previously unseen patient-related situations. In addition, the learning will be supported by robust contextualisation of science into pharmacy practice, emerging developments with precision/ personalised pharmacy and working with other healthcare professionals (interprofessional education) through multi-disciplinary teaching & learning, and extensive clinical exposure with simulated patients and professional scenarios via in-person community, hospital and GP pharmacy placements. Thus, this module also envisages a progressive development in the transferable skills, including recognition, responsible action, problem-solving, ethical, and emotional intelligence, decision making and others.

PMP202
Patient-Centred Learning II (PCLII)
PMP202 is the second of three Patient-Centred Learning (PCL) modules delivered in Years 2 and 3 of the B230 M. Pharm Pharmacy (Hons) programme. This semester-long (11 weeks) module encompasses 5 vertically integrated study units (ISUs), including central nervous system (CNS), musculoskeletal system (MSS), eyes, ears, nose and throat (EENT), kidney and liver (K&L) and skin. PMP202 also horizontally spirals up with the 7 subject themes: pharmaceutics, pharmaceutical chemistry, cellular & molecular biosciences, anatomy & physiology, pharmacology & therapeutics, clinical pharmacy, and pharmacy practice.
The module aims to enable students to reasonably apply their fundamental knowledge (drugs & medicines, health, disease and patient, and practice of pharmacy) acquired from the Year 1 module (PMP101, PMP102 and PMP103) along with the skills developed in PMP201, to the patient and people-centred professional scenarios explored in PMP202. The module aims to enable students to transfer knowledge from educational and psychological, pharmaceutical, and pharmacological theories into solving problems and making decisions in new previously unseen patient-related situations. In addition, the learning will be supported by robust contextualisation of science into pharmacy practice, emerging developments with precision/ personalised pharmacy and working with other healthcare professionals (interprofessional education) through multi-disciplinary teaching & learning, and extensive clinical exposure with simulated patients and professional scenarios via in-person community, hospital and GP pharmacy placements. Thus, this module also envisages a progressive development of transferable skills, including recognition, responsible action, problem-solving, ethical, and emotional intelligence, decision making and others.

PMP301
Patient Centred Learning III (PCLIII)
This module continues to build on the skills developed in ¿Patient-Centred Learning I and II (PCLI and PCLII)¿ modules. Subject themes (Pharmaceutics, Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Pharmacology, Biology & Biochemistry, Anatomy & Physiology, Clinical Pharmacy and Pharmacy Practice) within the semester-long ¿Patient-Centred Learning III¿ module are intercalated by ¿vertical¿ integrated study units focussing on the endocrine system, nutrition, cancer, genitourinary and vaccines.
The module aims to enable students to transfer knowledge from educational and psychological, pharmaceutical, pharmacological theories into solving problems and making decisions in new previously unseen patient-related situations with increasing complexity as compared to PCLI and PCLII. This learning will be supported by robust contextualisation of science into pharmacy practice and working along other healthcare professionals through trans-disciplinary teaching and learning and extensive clinical exposure in the Pharmacy Skills Suite and in placements.
