Purpose

You will have opportunity to gain pharmacy practice experience and enhance your employability through work integrated learning experiential placements in a community pharmacy environment.

Placement Structure

  • 1-week full-time
  • While at the placement, the expectation is you will experience the many aspects of community practice, including interaction with staff and customers.
  • Students are expected to perform across THREE entrustable professional activities (EPAs)
    which are:

    • Taking in prescriptions
    • Dispense medicines
    • Provision of OTC/S2/S3 medications
  • Receive feedback from the preceptor on your performance for the three EPAs, and develop an action plan on how you can improve your
    performance.

Assessment

  • Refer to your course Blackboard page and the Course Profile for assessment details.

To Know

  • These placements are self-sourced by students.
  • There are strict compliance requirements to meet before you can go on placement. Be sure to read and action all communication from the HaBS Placement Ready Team.
  • Students who are not compliant will forfeit their placements and jeopardise their ability to successfully complete the course.
