Program Overview
Overview
The move to senior career grades and Consultant Pharmacist posts indicates the need for doctoral level qualifications to be the norm for those seeking promotion in this respect. A professional doctorate provides a rigorous programme of advanced study and research, equally rigorous to the purely research oriented PhD. It is designed to meet the needs of a practising pharmacist wishing to attain the highest level of professional and academic achievement, that is clearly relevant to their professional practice, will support them in producing a contribution to professional knowledge, and will enable their career development.
The aim of this module is to enable participants to consolidate their research plan for years 3 and 4 of the DPharm programme by conducting and reflecting on an element of their proposed main research study. The assessment comprises a 10 000 word written report.
