Hospital pharmacy is formally designated as a department of the University
of Nottingham’s school of pharmacy
The pharmacy department at the Queen’s Medical Centre University Hospital has been formally designated as a department of the school of pharmacy at the University
of Nottingham.
It will be called “The University of Nottingham, school of pharmacy — department
of medicines management and hospital pharmacy”. The school believes
that this is the first collaboration of its kind.
The trust’s chief pharmacist and clinical director of medicines
management, Malcolm Partridge, has been appointed head of the new department.
Professor Partridge explained: “The arrangement is exactly the
model undergraduates require if they are to understand their academic
learning in the context of a real hospital environment.” He added
that a specialist hospital pharmacy component of the course will also
be offered.
The university will make funding available to build on existing relationships
with the hospital and to develop new activities.
A senior pharmacist and a team of
hospital-based clinical teachers will offer
specialist input into teaching and project work. |
