Advanced Pharmacy Practice DOCTOR OF PHARMACY (DPHARM)
MSc Amanda Plummer, MRPharmS, clinical pharmacy services manager at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, became the first graduate of the University of Bradford’s DPharm programme.
The Doctor of Pharmacy/MSc in Advanced Pharmacy Practice programme at the University of Bradford has been running since 2000. The Professional Doctorate in Pharmacy is considered an alternative route for pharmacists to achieve a doctorate qualification via a programme of advanced study in pharmacy practice. The DPharm provides a structured framework to facilitate development through an individual’s pharmaceutical practice to the consultant level through experience of work-based and autonomous learning. The programme aims to create a research ethos to provide evidence for the delivery of pharmaceutical services.
THE PHARMACEUTICAL JOURNAL (VOL 277) – 9 DECEMBER 2006
The DPharm programme is structured into two parts. Stage 1 consists of a taught programme, Stage 2 consists of a research project. Students who successfully complete only Stage 1 will be awarded the MSc in Advanced Pharmacy Practice. Students who successfully complete both Stages 1 and 2 will be awarded the DPharm. By the end of Stage 1 it is expected that successful candidates will have developed evidence of advanced practice, and by the end of Stage 2 they will have demonstrated professional expertise and advanced knowledge in their specialist field.
