Future proof your role as a pharmacist. Learn through an innovative and flexible teaching style. Build on current knowledge and experience and extend your professional development.
Clinical Pharmacy via Study Centres is taught at our quality-assured partners worldwide and will provide the additional postgraduate qualification you need to progress in your field.

It is ideally suited for newly qualified pharmacists and those progressing towards advanced clinical practice.
This course will challenge you, through an innovative and flexible teaching style, to be the best pharmacist for you and your patients. It will provide you with an approach to practice, building on existing knowledge and experiences to extend your personal and professional development.
The course has been developed by healthcare professionals and academics to reflect the most up-to-date and relevant areas to a pharmacist’s practice. To succeed in this course, applicants should preferably work in a patient-facing clinical role.
Please contact your Study Centre for the duration and mode of this course.
The course is delivered through a blended learning approach, with a strong emphasis on interactive distance-learning materials that you can engage with at your own time and pace.
Teaching is delivered via online lectures, expert interviews, directed reading, case-based scenarios, research activities, tutorials, and dedicated online tutor support. Content is divided into manageable, bite-sized chunks, allowing you to focus on specific areas even within a short timeframe. You can test your knowledge with self-check quizzes, watch expert consultations, or explore video tutorials.
In addition to the online materials, you’ll have the opportunity to participate in a series of live online seminars (webinars). These sessions are led by experienced academic pharmacists actively working in practice, highly specialist advanced clinical pharmacist practitioners, and a wide range of other healthcare professionals.
Modules run throughout the academic year, giving you the flexibility to manage your own schedule and study at your own pace within the module timeframe. Unlike undergraduate courses, this course requires a higher level of independent working, empowering you to take greater control of your learning experience.
You'll be assessed through a combination of written coursework and a work-based portfolio, which assesses learning and development through a variety of workplace tasks specifically tailored to meet the module and course outcomes.
