Taught Modules

PMP201 Patient-Centred Learning I (PCLI)

The PMP201 is the first of the three Patient-Centred Learning (PCL) modules delivered in Years 2 &3 of the B230, M.Pharm Pharmacy (Hons) programme. This semester-long (11 weeks) module encompasses 4 vertically integrated study units (ISU), including cardiovascular (CVS), respiratory (RES), Infection (INF) and gastrointestinal (GIS). Further, PMP201 horizontally spirals up with the 7 subject themes: pharmaceutics, pharmaceutical chemistry, cellular & molecular biosciences, anatomy & physiology, pharmacology & therapeutics, clinical pharmacy, and pharmacy practice. The module aims to enable students to reasonably apply their fundamental knowledge (drugs & medicines, health, disease and patient, and practice of pharmacy) acquired from the Year 1 module (PMP101, PMP102 and PMP103) to the patient and people-centred professional scenarios. The module aims to enable students to transfer knowledge from educational and psychological, pharmaceutical, and pharmacological theories into solving problems and making decisions in new previously unseen patient-related situations. In addition, the learning will be supported by robust contextualisation of science into pharmacy practice, emerging developments with precision/ personalised pharmacy and working with other healthcare professionals (interprofessional education) through multi-disciplinary teaching & learning, and extensive clinical exposure with simulated patients and professional scenarios via in-person community, hospital and GP pharmacy placements. Thus, this module also envisages a progressive development of transferable skills, including recognition, responsible action, problem-solving, ethical, and emotional intelligence, decision making and others.
