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:

  1. 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).
  2. Individualized essential services: tailored to the individual needs, but not requiring pharmacotherapy differentiation (e.g. check-point)
  3. Individualized advanced services: provided individually and demanding high pharmacotherapy differentiation (e.g. pharmaceutical care) or skilled training (e.g. administration of vaccines)
