Handbook

Principles, Therapeutics and Practice - Respiratory and Infectious Diseases 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 respiratory and infectious diseases. The focus will be on equipping you with the knowledge and skills to manage high prevalence respiratory and infectious diseases 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 respiratory and infectious diseases. Fortnightly placements in a community pharmacy of your choice and role-plays or simulations will develop essential communication skills required for effective clinical practice.
