Course objectives
The course "Pharmacy Practice" informs students about the theory of pharmacy practice - in general and, consequently, in the Czech Republic.
The primary purpose is to create good knowledge and background for practical professional performance in the pharmacy.
In the frames of this course, the students get to know more closely the structure and functioning of the pharmacy (services offered to the public or to inpatient care).
It covers:
an overview of information resources for pharmacotherapeutic consultations and health promotion
details about handling medical prescriptions
practical application of law regulations related to pharmacies, categories of medicinal products, and medical devices
rules for dispensing of these products
administrative background for the preparation of medicinal products in the pharmacy
professional and economic administration - pricing and reimbursement of medicines, management, and marketing
Through seminars, students train in selected activities - searching and providing information, handling medical prescriptions, and calculating pharmacy retail prices.
Students attend an international project focused on the online pharmaceutical market.
