This means that you will benefit from extensive real-world training, and start to build your own professional portfolio before you have even graduated. With support from our friendly staff, who are leading researchers and practitioners, you will enhance your knowledge of chemistry and biology, and learn how to apply it to drug design, drug delivery and pharmacology, in order to optimise patient care. Our course covers everything needed to become an outstanding person-centred practitioner, and includes the following topics: - Communication and consultation skills - Disease causes, prevention and treatments - Drug design and discovery - Medicines optimisation - Precision medicine - Prescribing - Professionalism and ethics - Reflective practice As well as exceptional training in the core requirements, you will cover a broad range of subjects integrating healthcare and science, enabling you to identify and specialise in the areas you find most interesting.
