Clinical Pharmacology

The unit aims to enable students to make progress towards meeting some of the learning outcomes described in Outcomes for Graduates (2018) relevant to ‘Professional values and behaviours’, ‘Professional skills’ and ‘Professional knowledge’. The specific aim is to enable students to develop knowledge of pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics that will allow them to develop an understanding of pharmacological options of therapy. The predominantly scientific knowledge gained in this module will be combined with safe prescribing training in CSFC and medical blocks in Phase II to be able to manage pharmacotherapy of patients at an appropriate level.
