Overview

Module aims and purpose

This module aims to develop core knowledge and skills in promoting quality in healthcare through audit, service evaluation and quality improvement.聽 In addition, it allows practitioners to demonstrate systematic and critical understanding of the knowledge and skills required to work independently within a specific area of pharmacy practice.

A significant proportion of the module is workplace-based learning and practitioners are required to be working at an approved workplace with an educational supervisor to support them in their studies.聽 Practitioners will be supported to reflect on their experiences by developing a professional portfolio of their learning which is mapped to the Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) Foundation Pharmacist Framework.

Module learning outcomes

By the end of the module, it is expected that students will be able to:

  1. Independently design and conduct a small-scale audit, service evaluation or quality improvement project related to medicines and, critically analyse and critically interpret the results to communicate appropriate recommendations.
  2. Critically review the management and monitoring of patients with a range of common disease states, including critiquing the interpretation of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic principles and applying evidence-based medicine to make clinical decisions in complex situations.
  3. Consult effectively with patients, carers and the multidisciplinary healthcare team, respecting diversity and confidentiality.
  4. Continually advance own knowledge and understanding through continuing professional development and life-long learning to achieve safe and effective medication use.

Module content

The module will enable to the student to demonstrate understanding of methods to promote quality including audit, service evaluation and quality improvement.聽To undertake and present the results of a small-scale project following one of the methods.聽To demonstrate systematic and critical understanding of the knowledge and skills required to work independently within a specific area of pharmacy practice.聽 Students will combine academic learning with workplace-based learning and self-directed study to enable them to apply their knowledge to real patient cases.

This module will focus on supporting practitioners to build on their core knowledge to understand how to use methods to promote quality to support their advancing practice.聽Practitioners can choose the therapeutic focus of their workplace-based learning, from within which they will apply a range of clinical and scientific knowledge to solve complex medication-related problems.

Structure

Teaching and learning methods

This module will use a range of teaching and learning methods.聽The University teaching is based around three online workshops using a mixture of presentations and problem-based learning, facilitated by the programme team, specialist pharmacists and other healthcare professionals.聽The workshops are underpinned by directed learning via Blackboard and self-directed learning where practitioners are required to use a range of sources to gain information to support the development of their knowledge and skills.

A significant proportion of the programme is workplace-based learning where practitioners will undertake activities to develop their knowledge, skills and behaviours.聽This will be guided by the professional portfolio of learning.

This module is studied over six months, and there may be more than one cohort per year, therefore the distinction of hours by semester is not possible.聽The hours shown for Semester 1 below are spread over the entire module.

Study hours

At least 12 hours of scheduled teaching and learning activities will be delivered in person, with the remaining hours for scheduled and self-scheduled teaching and learning activities delivered either in person or online. You will receive further details about how these hours will be delivered before the start of the module.

  • the mark awarded due to the imposition of the penalty shall not fall below the threshold pass mark, namely 40% in the case of modules at Levels 4-6 (i.e. undergraduate modules for Parts 1-3) and 50% in the case of Level 7 modules offered as part of an Integrated Masters or taught postgraduate degree programme;
  • where the piece of work is awarded a mark below the threshold pass mark prior to any penalty being imposed, and is submitted up to three working days after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline), no penalty shall be imposed;
  • where the piece of work is submitted more than three working days after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline): a mark of zero will be recorded.
