Clinical Pharmacy

University of Strathclyde
Postgraduate MSc Full-time 12 Months Pharmacy, pharmacology, and toxicology

About this course

This course is ideal for non-UK qualified pharmacists wanting to develop clinical skills to deliver ‘pharmaceutical care’. The course also provides foundations in health service research and will benefit Pharmacists working in hospital or community practice. You will receive advanced training in the practice of pharmacy, to enable you to deliver optimum pharmaceutical care, and become a safer and more effective practitioner. You'll be taught predominately by pharmacists registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC).

Please note the MSc Clinical Pharmacy is not an advanced masters programme and does not result in a qualification allowing graduates to register in the UK as a Pharmacist. The course is primarily aimed at overseas pharmacists with limited existing clinical pharmacy experience. Content covered on the course is comparable to that delivered in the MPharm Pharmacy degree.
