Overview

This General Pharmacy Practice programme from UCL is a part time modular/flexible course that has a registration period of up to five years and can be completed in two or three years.The curriculum supports a broad approach to practice - pharmacists are expected to manage issues related to safe and effective provision of medicines regardless of context, including providing information to patients and health care professionals, ensuring the technical and legal aspects of medicines supply are met, providing evidence led clinical advice and more complex problem-solving skills relevant to their future careers.

As the majority of the pharmacist-based learning is undertaken in the workplace, the programme builds on existing systems of clinical supervision, mentoring and facilitation. A senior pharmacist (known as the Educational Programme Director) will be nominated by the Training Centre (Hospital) to take overall responsibility for coordinating the development of practitioners registered on the programme.

Career

The curriculum will develop pharmacists who are able to practise at a general level, and consequently embraces clinical, technical, medicines information and patient service elements.

The curriculum fundamentally contributes to the Foundation practitioner development strategy and serves as the foundation for future pharmacist development.

It supports practitioners to develop knowledge, skills and behaviours during Foundation Stage 2 that will underpin advanced practice development later. The ethos and culture of the course is to enhance and develop self-reliance and an adult approach to learning in support of continuing professional development.
