The Master of Pharmacy (MPharm) degree is a research qualification whereby a student can undertake individual research in the pharmaceutical sciences, clinical pharmacy or pharmacy practice disciplines. It should be of interest to those who need research skills in areas of pharmacy to advance their careers or for those who wish to proceed to a PhD. Pharmacists help improve health outcomes for communities, while enjoying an amazing work–life balance. As medicine experts, pharmacists work directly with patients, helping them understand their medicines and how to use them in the most effective way. Pharmacists are essential members of the healthcare team. They’re trusted by other healthcare professionals to assess prescriptions and recommend the best combination of medicines. But this is just part of their role. As a pharmacist, you can also assess and treat health conditions, prescribe medication, and give life-saving vaccinations. This is the future of pharmacy – going beyond the script.
