The Pharmaceutical Skills component consists of Drug Profile Practicals. Students will gain a deeper understanding of the physicochemical properties of drugs, methods of analysing drugs and how the physicochemical properties determine the pharmacology.The Dispensing (Prescription consultation) component will provide an introduction to dispensing software programs and give students a familiarity with dispensing and prescription consultations of the top 50 Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) medications (by script volume). Workshops will provide an opportunity to research the medications and information that needs to be gathered from a patient or clarified by the prescriber to then be followed by dispensing that medication and consulting the patient. Students will be assessed on legal requirement of scheduled medicines and prescriptions, interpretation of prescribers' intention, accuracy of dispensing and relevant counselling of the dispensed medication.
