    About the course

    The success of the pharmacist's clinical role and the accompanying benefit to patient care, rely almost entirely on the skills and knowledge of the individuals who deliver the service. This course builds on the limited knowledge imparted in some undergraduate courses, whilst underpinning that acquired professionally.

    A long-established collaborative venture between the school and some of the teaching and specialist hospitals in London and the south-east ensures a high quality of theory delivery together with practical clinical experience.
