This unit of study explores the role of the pharmacist as a care provider for disease state management in the healthcare team. It focuses on methods of delivering patient care both at an individual level and also to the wider community. Students will build on the skills and knowledge developed in Pharmacy Practice 1. Students' knowledge and skills in social pharmacy will be developed, covering a number of health psychology topics including chronic illness, cultural safety and patient centred care. Students will be introduced to the importance of teamwork both within discipline and interdisciplinary and how it is relevant in the health care setting, and will play an active role in team based activities. Students will develop skills in identifying common ailments, making recommendations through communication and role-play activities, and be introduced to the concepts of screening for chronic disease including diabetes, respiratory and cardiovascular disease. Other areas developed in this unit are health professional communication skills, medicine and complementary medicine information gathering and problem solving.
