Overview

About the programme

There are 3 working centres in Pharmacy Practice which include the Centre for Pharmacy Workforce Studies, Pharmacoepidemiology and Drug Safety, and Prescribing and Patient Safety. There is a lot of interplay between the centres so there is maximum impact to the patient and to the research.

We work with patient groups, prescribers, and pharmacists to gather the necessary information to conduct research, but also healthcare databases to maximise the study population size for robust results.

We have a diverse skill base including clinical and community pharmacists, biostatisticians, epidemiologist, qualitative specialist researchers and health economists. This programme is offered at at The University of Manchester.
