Advanced Pharmacy Practice

Getting in

As the university states it

Applicants must: (a) have successfully completed an RPS-accredited foundation programme, and (b) have successfully completed a GPhC-accredited independent prescribing programme; and (c) must be employed as a pharmacist. In exceptional circumstances, as an alternative to (a) and/or (b), where an individual has substantial and significant experiential learning, a portfolio of written evidence demonstrating the meeting of graduate qualities (including subject-specific outcomes, as determined by the Course Committee) may be considered as an alternative entrance route. Evidence used to demonstrate graduate qualities may not be used for exemption against modules within the programme. An opportunity for accreditation of prior learning (APL) is available - please contact the Northern Ireland Centre for Pharmacy Learning Development (NICPLD) at NICPLD-Post-Reg@qub.ac.uk for more information. Students will need support from their employer to undertake the work-based practice activities, and to develop a portfolio of evidence to demonstrate that they have achieved the capabilities and outcomes of the RPS Core Advanced Pharmacist Curriculum. The initial application process, and the funding application process, for this workforce development programme, is managed by NICPLD.
