The module is designed to build upon PHAY0001 Role of the Pharmacist in Healthcare and revisits the introductory subjects in more detail as well as introducing more complex clinical and professional considerations. Formative feedback is provided for all learning activities (such as calculations, prescription checking, patient simulation exercises) by means of written feedback on commonly occurring answers, feedback to the whole cohort in a lecture setting and, where appropriate, individualised feedback to the students within a tutorial setting. Within the "common conditions" workshops - in small group’s students will prepare a presentation on the evidence-based treatment of common conditions and use this to teach their colleagues about the evidence-based choices in OTC recommendations.

This module is split into the following main themes:

	Professional and Leadership skills
	Law, ethics and risk minimisation
	Pharmacy and public health
	Behavioural Medicine
	Self-care and common conditions
