Fundamentals of public health for pharmacy practice
Course description:
We rely on a small team and user feedback to keep Pharmacy Courses running. Notice something looks odd? Let us know!The course covers public health principles and practice in the UK, and then focuses on public health practice in pharmacy with scenarios, examples and techniques from hospital, primary care and community pharmacy. Learners will be able to integrate public health principles into their own practice to benefit person-centred care.
To facilitate your learning, we have structured the course into four units. All units are of a similar size, and we estimate that you will need to commit an average of two hours of learning for each unit.
-
- Unit 1 - What is public health?
- Unit 2 - Why is public health so important to pharmacy practice?
- Unit 3 - The role of pharmacy in public health
- Unit 4 - Being equipped to delivery equality and innovation
On completion of all aspects of this learning programme you should be able to:
- list the three domains of public health
