MSc Advanced Clinical Pharmacy Practice

... United Kingdom
... University of Strathclyde

Course Overview

This unique course enables pharmacists (registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council) to develop as advanced clinical practitioners within a peer group learning environment. The system is flexible, with classes that look at specific practice and personal development needs.

Three new modules have been developed for 2023/24, specifically to meet the needs of pharmacists today:

  • Clinical Decision making (20 credits)

  • Research Fundamentals I: critical appraisal (20 credits)

  • Research Fundamentals II: research protocol development (20 credits)

These new modules have been developed to align with the RPS Core Advanced Curriculum domains of ‘Clinical Practice’ and ‘Research’. They will support pharmacists in all sectors, including Community, Hospital and General Practice.

Teaching will be delivered virtually and in person. We understand the pressures of working as a pharmacist and will ensure face-to-face teaching only happens when it is optimal for learning.

At Strathclyde, our aim is for you to build a network and community to support you during and beyond your studies:

  • You will develop a Clinical Network with peers for the Clinical Decision-Making module. You will learn from experienced clinicians and members of the wider multidisciplinary team.

  • You will develop a peer-based Research Network alongside established researchers within the Pharmacoepidemiology and Health Services Research group for the Research Fundamental modules. They can support you throughout all stages of your research project. We also have an excellent track record of helping students to publish their research in international journals.(e.g. Slavin et al; Robertson et al; Rueben et al; Speirits et al; Bailey et al)

The Independent Prescribing (IP) qualification is included within the course as an optional 30-credit module. Practitioners who have already completed the IP qualification will receive 30 credits for prior learning, and 30 credits will reduce the requirements for each award.
