MSc Clinical Pharmacy

Course Overview

This course is ideal for non-UK qualified pharmacists wanting to develop clinical skills to deliver ‘pharmaceutical care’. The system also provides foundations in health service research and will benefit Pharmacists in hospitals or community practice. You will receive advanced training in pharmacy preparation to enable you to deliver optimum pharmaceutical care and become a safer and more effective practitioner. You'll be taught predominately by pharmacists registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC).

Please note the MSc Clinical Pharmacy is not an advanced master's programme and does not result in a qualification allowing graduates to register in the UK as a Pharmacist. The course primarily aims at overseas pharmacists with limited clinical pharmacy experience. The content covered in the system is comparable to that delivered in the MPharm Pharmacy degree.
