Pharmaceutical Science and Practice 3 CSA209
Introduction
Pharmaceutical Science and Practice 3 involves the study of the physical and chemical (physicochemical) principles which are important in the design of dosage forms and other pharmaceutical systems. These physicochemical principles are also applied to professional pharmacy practice, particularly with regard to extemporaneous compounding.
Students develop their dispensing process by exploring more advanced extemporaneous compounding and dispensing issues. Some legal aspects of dispensing and related pharmacy practice issues are also covered. Students are introduced to professional problem-solving and decision making appropriate to the patient.
There is a focus on patient-centred care as students develop their communication and patient counselling skills.
