Module Indicative Content
The module will explore current issues and challenges in the area of medication management. There will
be exploration of the practitioners role in delivering effective strategies to improve the service users
experience including evidence based approaches to care delivery i.e. compliance therapy and
motivational interviewing. There will be critical examination of current clinical practice in relation to best
practice. There will be a focus on pharmacology including some psychopharmacology,
pharmcokenetics and pharmodynamics as applied to treatment choice and decision-making and
concordance. Assessment tools/documents and clinical/laboratory screening will be critically evaluated in the areas of pathology and psychopathology, side-effect management and clinical emergencies and will explore strategies for integration into service provision.
