Modules

Prescriptions of medication are an important intervention in clinical care that has safety, efficacy and resource issues to consider. Robust working systems are required in clinical practice to ensure that medication is prescribed and used appropriately so that the risk of pharmacological iatrogenesis is minimised. In addition, adherence to medication needs to be promoted so that intended healthcare outcomes are achieved and prescription costs are not wasted This module will provide you with the skills to evaluate your knowledge and systems in practice, as well as developing the principles of applied therapeutics behind pharmaceutical care planning.
