The modules covered under our pharmacy practice components include ethics and legislation in pharmacy, hospital and community pharmacy practice, pharmacoepidemiology, pharmacoeconomics and management skills for pharmacists. The department currently has two labs (Community and Hospital Pharmacy Skills (CHarmS) 1 and 2) which are used for teaching community and hospital pharmacy skills for the Bachelor of Pharmacy (Honours) programme.
