Clinical Practice for Pharmacy Technicians BSc (Hons)

This brand-new course will bridge the knowledge gap identified by practising pharmacy technicians, increasing your practice scope and contribution to the provision of patient centred pharmaceutical care and clinical pharmacy. This degree qualification will provide advanced knowledge across the four pillars of practice of the new post-registration pharmacy workforce development framework.

The course will have a comprehensive, professionally relevant and clinical oriented curriculum that will acknowledge the diverse clinical skill set required to be a successful and competent clinical pharmacy technician.

Due to the expanded role of pharmacists that includes independent prescribing, some clinical aspects can be performed by another pharmacy professional with the appropriate clinical training and knowledge; pharmacy technicians are best suited to be upskilled to undertake clinical roles.
