Experiential Learning Placements
The experiential learning placements are a mandatory component of the MPharm programme i.e. they are not optional. They are included as contact/teaching hours within the module to reflect this. At the time of writing, we are expecting there will be no placements in Level 1 and up to 12 weeks across Levels 2-4. These placements are expected to occur in primary and secondary care sites. They will be across Northern Ireland.
Introduction
The course integrates the chemical, and biological sciences with the discovery, design, evaluation and production of medicines and their clinical application to all areas of practice. Importance is also placed on equality, diversity and inclusion, sustainable healthcare, professionalism, and prescribing skills and attributes. A variety of placements and simulated learning with multidisciplinary teams, coupled with other teaching and learning approaches, help students develop the knowledge and skills to be a valued and effective member of the healthcare team.

Additional course costs
All students entering this programme are required to undergo an enhanced disclosed check with Access NI and/or obtain a Certificate of Good Conduct or equivalent. The student has to cover the costs involved with these checks. Year 1 students are required to buy a laboratory coat and branded scrubs for use on placements and clinical skills. Students will be expected to travel to an experiential learning placement site up to a maximum of two hours one way, as calculated by an online route planner for car journeys or taking into account the public transport network. The School of Pharmacy, or the Northern Ireland Centre for Pharmacy Learning and Development (NICPLD), will endeavour to allocate placements close to a student's home or study address, where possible. However, it is the student's responsibility to make the necessary travel, accommodation and dependent care arrangements in relation to attending an experiential learning placement. The student is responsible for covering the cost of these aspects, however, the University provides a travel subsidy (made available by the DoH) to each student pharmacist per week of completed placement. This is a contribution towards the overall cost of attending EL placements.' Students will also have to purchase scrubs or professional attire as directed to meet the stipulated dress code. Furthermore, and in the context of the mandatory experiential learning placements, the expectation is that students abide by the requirements of the workplace, among other requirements outlined by the School of Pharmacy and University. If students do not, they may not be allowed to undertake and/or complete the placement, which will subsequently affect the ability to pass the module and progress.
