Faculty of Health Science
Launceston Clinical School, Integrated Care Centre
The School of Pharmacy provides education on pharmacy and related sciences from undergraduate to doctoral level, conducts research programs and acts as a centre of drug expertise for the Tasmania community.
The Faculty of Health Science has a long and well deserved reputation, both within Australia and internationally, for excellence in teaching and research. Each of the Schools pursues innovated teaching techniques and where possible incorporates inter-professional education. The extensive research which is undertaken by academic staff is often undertaken in collaboration with the Menzies Research Institute and Wicking Dementia Research and Education Centre.
The Faculty incorporates five academic schools: Human Life Sciences; Medicine; Nursing and Midwifery; Pharmacy and Psychology . Also included in the Faculty are the University Department of Rural Health and the Rural Clinical School, which provides a hub for academic rural health in the State.

Millions of people should have their blood tested each day to check the level of prescription drug in their blood. Some drugs are only effective within a very narrow range. Too little and the drug is ineffective, too much and the drug could be deadly.
