| Syllabus: | In this unit, students learn how to communicate with and provide pharmaceutical services to special patient groups including patients who are terminally ill and those with mental health issues. Students will extend their communication skills by giving oral presentations and providing evidence-informed written disease management care plans in patient cases with health-related issues. Students will evaluate and apply error risk reduction strategies in pharmacy practice with the aim of providing continuous quality improvement and quality assurance. There will be further opportunities for students to become more familiar with information technology for pharmacists including electronic prescribing and electronic medication management records. Students will extend their performance of pharmaceutical calculations to include complex pharmaceutical calculations in patients with multiple morbidities. Students will also develop policies and guidelines for new pharmaceutical services and will investigate and reflect on evolving roles and new models of care for pharmacists. Students will apply clinical, ethical, economic and legal reasoning to resolve complex professional dilemmas. |
