Learning outcomes of the curricular unit:
The objective of the curricular unit is to provide students with the required competencies to implement in the field services foreseen by Decree 1429/2007, with a special focus in those areas not covered by other compulsory curricular units, namely the provision of patient-centered services and therapeutic management, i.e., pharmaceutical care and medication review, administration of medicines (vaccines and injectables), the provision of first-aid and the treatment of wounds.
It is aimed that through this curricular unit, with a strong practical component, students become competent to implement these services in their future life.
Syllabus:
The new demands of the profession require the provision of pharmaceutical services, including:
- Community-based services, which include all services intended for the community where the pharmacy is located with no special need for individualization of care provided (e.g. first aid).
- Individualized essential services: tailored to the individual needs, but not requiring pharmacotherapy differentiation (e.g. check-point)
- Individualized advanced services: provided individually and demanding high pharmacotherapy differentiation (e.g. pharmaceutical care) or skilled training (e.g. administration of vaccines)
