Handbook

Principles, Therapeutics and Practice - Mental Health and Neurology is part of a series of courses that examines the pathophysiology, pharmacology, medicinal chemistry, pharmaceutics, clinical therapeutics, and pharmacy practice related to body systems. This course will also introduce professional services pharmacists undertake to manage mental health and neurological conditions. The focus will be on equipping you with the knowledge and skills to manage high prevalence mental health and neurological conditions that pharmacists most commonly encounter in their practice.  Online learning modules will complement case-based workshops where you will develop skills to optimise patient drug and non-drug compliance in mental health and neurological conditions. Fortnightly placements in a community pharmacy of your choice and role-plays or simulations will develop essential communication skills required for effective clinical practice.
