Clinical and Health Services Pharmacy (PGDip)

Clinical and Health Services Pharmacy PGDip offers:

• A mix of clinical topics and health care management modules (including health economics, medicines management, research and people development)
• Teaching by experts, known both nationally and internationally in their fields

The course is open to specific pharmacy professionals:

• Recently qualified pharmacists working in the UK who need to develop their clinical and management skills
• The course attracts mainly hospital pharmacists, however, community pharmacists who have workplace support are encouraged to apply
• Unfortunately due to the nature of the course we are unable to accept applications from international pharmacists

What a former student has to say about the course:

Richard Keers, PGDip graduate

"The impressive range of clinical topics covered during the 2 year diploma broadened my pharmaceutical knowledge and enhanced my ability to provide individualised patient care."

Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust says of our course:

"Our Trust elects to send students to the Manchester Diploma for two reasons. The first reason is that the students benefit from the opportunity of networking with pharmacists of a similar grade from across the region and have face-to-face teaching from clinical experts. The second benefit is that as the diploma offers modules in research and healthcare management, alongside the clinical modules, it prepares the pharmacists for a number of different roles within the NHS in addition to that of a clinical pharmacist."
