Advanced therapeutic decision-making: Acute care

This unit will develop your ability to apply evidence-based practice (EBP) skills to make therapeutic decisions in acute healthcare settings, by exploring topics in cardiology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, and complex cases (e.g. renal and hepatic impairment). Case-based learning and reflective tasks will challenge you to critically assess and refine your core clinical pharmacy skills: assessing patient information, identifying medication-related problems, making evidence-based recommendations, and formulating collaborative person-centred, individualised care plans to support the quality use of medicines. To undertake this unit, you must be a practising pharmacist in a position with patient contact.
