What is Pharmacy?

Pharmacists are the experts in drug discovery, development, preparation and usage of medicines. They are both professional scientists and qualified health care practitioners. Pharmacists work in hospitals, in the community and in the pharmaceutical industry. They promote the safe and effective use of medicines and ensure quality patient care. Often, pharmacists are the first point of information on medicines for the public and other health care professionals, and must be effective communicators.

Pharmacists receive training in diverse areas of science and in the skills required to be effective and professional in their job. The MPharm degree provides the knowledge and skills education essential for future practice and the School of Pharmacy at Keele provides the ideal setting for this. Located within the Faculty of Health, the School complements the existing School of Medicine and students will be taught in a dynamic and flourishing multidisciplinary, interprofessional environment.
