Applications are invited for the two-year (part-time) taught course, leading to a Masters Degree in Hospital Pharmacy, commencing in January 2018.
The M.Sc. in Hospital Pharmacy is the longest running postgraduate hospital pharmacy course in Ireland. It is also unique, in that it is the only broad-based hospital pharmacy course in Ireland, covering both clinical and non-clinical aspects of hospital pharmacy practice.
Key features of the course include the following:
- Provides students with expert knowledge and skills necessary to undertake all aspects of hospital pharmacy including clinical pharmacy, dispensary and drug distribution, administration and management, aseptic compounding, pharmacoeconomics and medicines information.
- Intensive practical experience is gained via the clinical and non-clinical rotations during the hospital attachment under the expert guidance of an assigned tutor(s).
- Face-to-face teaching sessions from clinical experts and hospital managers, who are leaders in their field.
- Opportunity for students to network with pharmacists from other Irish hospitals via small group and peer-review assignments at weekly teaching sessions during term time.
- Completion of a 20,000 word practice-based research project in either a clinical or non-clinical area, with support from both the School and a hospital-based tutor. Many students subsequently publish a paper based on their research.
