Pharmacy is an exciting and constantly changing healthcare profession where the pharmacist as an expert in medicines is able to contribute to the health and wellbeing of patients and society.
The MPharm course aims to provide students with the skills, knowledge, competencies and other attributes expected of the pharmacy profession as outlined through the General Pharmaceutical Council’s (GPhC) Initial Education and Training of Pharmacists Standards 2021.
The overall philosophy of the MPharm Pharmacy programme places the patient, and the way in which a pharmacist serves the needs of the patient, as central to the learning experience of the pharmacy student. Whilst focussing on the patient, their medicines and their care, the MPharm programme will equip the future pharmacist with a strong scientific foundation that will inform their decisions in practice. The programme will equip the future pharmacist with the skills and knowledge to practice safely and ethically within the emerging independent prescribing environment.
Placement activities will take place within Wales and will be focussed in the North Wales region with around 11 weeks planned across the duration of the programme. These placements are split between community, hospital and GP-based pharmacy settings along with plans to expose students to some non-standard settings within the programme. During the placements students will grow and develop their skills and this will be monitored through placement supervisors guiding students through multiple Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) which will involve increasing levels of entrustment as the programme develops enabling the student to engage more autonomously with patients and their carers.
Bangor’s four-year undergraduate MPharm Pharmacy programme equips a suitable graduate to become a pharmacist and independent prescriber, subject to the successful completion of a subsequent one-year Foundation Training programme (previous known as pre-registration training) and passing a GPhC Registration Assessment. In addition, graduates from this programme will also be eligible to join the register with the accrediting body as an Independent Prescriber (IP). Whilst the majority of graduates choose a career as a practising pharmacist, other roles and jobs are available given the scientific nature of the programme.
Bangor University is working towards accreditation of this programme with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC). The programme is provisionally accredited until the accreditation process is complete.
