Presentación

We offer two pathways in the Advanced Professional Practice Programme:

•Clinical Pharmacy for General Practice for pharmacists to develop the skills required for working in General Practice.
•Advanced Professional Practice (Open Learn) allows health professionals to choose from our range of modules to create their own pathway

Clinical Pharmacy for General Practice

NHS England has recently announced their intention to invest £15 million pounds to pilot patient facing roles for clinical pharmacists in GP practices. This is a clear sign of that pharmacists are recognised as health professionals who are able to support patients in the management of long term conditions e.g. by optimising medicines. These roles offer exciting opportunities for pharmacists to develop in this area of practice.

Our new postgraduate pathway ´Clinical Pharmacy for General Practice´ allows you to combine your choice of modules from across our Community Pharmacy, Advanced Professional Practice and Prescribing Studies programmes to meet your own personal learning needs whilst working towards a Postgraduate Certificate, Diploma or Masters award.

Advanced Professional Practice (Open Learn)

Increasing numbers of pharmacists and other health professionals have a career portfolio that crosses the traditional boundaries of community practice, primary care and secondary care and need a programme of continuing professional development that can meet their specific personal professional development needs.

The Open learn pathway of the APP programme is designed to allow pharmacists and other health professionals, particularly medical and non-medical prescribers working in primary care, choice and flexibility in their progression to Certificate, Diploma and Masters awards to meet their specific professional development needs and advance their professional practice.

Requisitos

To gain admission to the Certificate and Diploma courses, and the stand-alone short courses, you must be registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) or equivalent for pharmacists working overseas and be practising either full-time or part-time. We recommend that the course is particularly suitable for practitioners who have been registered for at least three years, and who are working in a role where they have the opportunity to use and develop advanced practice skills, but this is at the discretion of the Programmer Manager and discussion with individual applicants. The ‘Open Learn’ pathway of the Programme may also be suitable for other health professionals, particularly medical and non-medical prescribers.

Normally, only applicants with the minimum of a second class undergraduate degree classification will be accepted onto the Programme. Exceptions will be considered on a case-by-case basis. The University reserves the right to interview prospective students and take up academic references. The final decision in any case rests with the University. Candidates are also admitted on the basis of perceived and potential competence to complete the programme.

English language proficiency requirement
If English is not your first language, you must either:
Hold a degree from a school where English was the language of instruction
OR
Take the IELTS (average of 7.0 with a minimum of 6.5 in all categories)
Please note that IETLS exams must be no more than two years old at the start of the course for which you have applied.
