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. You will develop your dispensing process by exploring more advanced extemporaneous compounding and dispensing issues. You will be introduced to professional problem-solving and decision making appropriate to the patient. There is a focus on patient-centred care as you develop your communication and patient counselling skills.
