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.
