These courses have been specifically designed to meet the needs of community pharmacists practising in Ireland. Because of their distance-learning format, participants can continue in full-time employment throughout the courses.
These courses are intended to help community pharmacists to develop their clinical, managerial and research skills, meet duties imposed by the HSE contract, undertake the role of a supervising pharmacist or superintendant pharmacist with confidence, extend their professional role and contribute to patient care as part of the primary health care team.
Participants initially enter at diploma level, and on successful completion of core material may choose either to graduate with a Postgraduate Diploma in Community Pharmacy or to apply to transfer to the M.Sc. in Community Pharmacy.
The courses are intended to help community pharmacists to:
* Develop their clinical, managerial and research skills
* Meet duties imposed by the HSE contract

The two courses have core material in common. Participants initially enter at diploma level, and on successful completion of the common material they may choose either to graduate with a Postgraduate Diploma in Community Pharmacy or to apply for transfer to the M.Sc. in Community Pharmacy.
Both courses are available on a part-time basis, the diploma being conducted over two years with one additional year for students who progress to the M.Sc. In both courses participants undertake a series of modules covering clinical, social and business aspects of pharmacy practice, with opportunities for specialisation in particular fields. Pharmacists who advance to M.Sc. level undertake an additional module on research methods and perform a research project relevant to community pharmacy practice.
AssessmentThe core material common to both the Diploma and the M.Sc. is assessed on a continuous basis with written assignments and practice-based workbooks. Written examinations are held annually.
M.Sc. candidates must also present their research both orally and as a written dissertation.
