Clinical Pharmacy Practice MSc

Capitalising on over 25 years’ experience delivering flexible distance learning to support the continuing professional development (CPD) of practicing pharmacists, Keele’s Clinical Pharmacy Practice programme allows you to develop your clinical and professional knowledge and skills at a time, place and pace that suits you. You can tailor your study to your interests and educational needs, choosing from over 20 different modules covering skills-based and clinical topics. Designed for pharmacists working in any patient-facing sector, including hospital, community or GP practice, our academic offering embraces foundation level training through to advanced practice and ultimately your master’s qualification.

Why study this course?


• Modules are annually updated with input from specialist pharmacists working in practice.



• Part-time distance learning allows you to personalise CPD to your educational needs, experience and qualifications.



• Course learning outcomes map to the Royal Pharmaceutical Society’s Frameworks to help you advance your career and evidence your CPD.



• Option to receive Diploma in Clinical Pharmacy Practice (Independent Prescribing) by studying our highly-regarded Independent Prescribing Course (N.B. This requires attendance at four study days).



• Centre for Professional Development and Lifelong Learning (CPD4ALL) has a reputation for stimulating courses which meet the needs of pharmacists and other healthcare professionals.



From new scopes of practice and greater interprofessional collaboration, to changing regulations and service developments, the pharmacy profession is continually evolving to meet the desire for more efficient and effective patient care.

CPD has become crucial to ensure pharmacists  - and the profession as a whole  - are able to respond and adapt to rapidly changing healthcare systems and needs.

We believe our Clinical Pharmacy Practice (CPP) programme is one of the most flexible learning programmes on offer. Not only does it allow you to tailor your studies by choosing from over 20 different modules, but you can set your own timeframe for study, potentially dipping in and out of learning over five years or working your way up to the MSc in as little as three.
