Course content

MSc Clinical Pharmacy and Healthcare Leadership is ideal for non-UK registered pharmacists who want to develop the clinical and leadership skills to deliver person-centred care to patients.

You will learn about:

• clinical areas such as respiratory, cardiovascular, diabetes, infectious diseases, mental health and cancer care, their treatments, and how co-morbidities and patient values and beliefs can impact on treatment decisions
• consulting effectively with a patient so they feel listened to and involved in their care
• identifying and managing risks and making shared decisions with patients about their care and ongoing treatment plan from a patient safety perspective
• monitoring medications and making changes and deprescribing when appropriate
• leading in a healthcare environment including personal leadership styles and influencing skills, and change and project management

The healthcare leadership aspect of the programme will enable and empower you to lead developments and innovations in pharmacy practice in an environment where you may be the only pharmacist.

You will also learn how to communicate your strategic vision effectively and to lead a team to implement and monitor the resultant changes, including evaluation of services.

Combining clinical pharmacy and leadership skills will put you in an ideal position to lead the way in the development of innovative clinical pharmacy services.
