of Pharmacy reception for more information. 

1.2 Course Introduction


PHRM1012 and the preceding course PHRM1011 (Introductory Pharmacy 1 in Semester 1), are designed to develop basic professional pharmacy practice
knowledge and skills. The focus is on patient-centred care - selecting the most appropriate over the counter (OTC) product to ensure optimal patient
outcomes. Together, these are the introductory courses in the 'Quality Use of Medicines' (QUM) stream (leading to PHRM2011, PHRM2012, PHRM3011,
PHRM3012, PHRM4062, PHRM4011, and PHRM4012).

Course Changes in Response to Previous Student Feedback

PHRM1012 continually incorporates feedback from staff and students. The course content includes an introduction to pharmacy management,
community pharmacy retail operations and an overview of some of the main products found in pharmacy's front shop categories.  As with PHRM1011
(Semester I), PHRM1012 has been designed with a greater emphasis on pharmacy practice to encourage engagement with the pharmacy profession and
to learn from the experiential community pharmacy placement. Practice exam questions will be available through the UQ library. Based on the feedback
from the subsequent years, further improvements have been made to enhance student learning with the course material.

12/14/2019 Course Profiles - The University of Queensland

This course will be taught using the following modes:


 
1.  Lectures (2 hours per week)
The theme of PHRM1012 is ‘Introductory clinical and pharmaceutical sciences’, while providing opportunity for students to integrate knowledge gained in
PHRM1011. You will learn about a wide range of clinical areas as an introduction to the BPharm (Hons) program and subsequent advanced studies. The
lectures timetable is on Blackboard. All lecture content is assessable in the end-of-semester written exam. 
 
2.  Practicals / Workshops (2 hours per week)
Practicals serve to supplement the lecture material and provide experience in dispensing and consultation. Practicals are in groups of 25-30 students to
facilitate interaction and exchange. Students must attend their allocated practical session unless prior arragements are made with the course co-
ordinator. Attendance at these practicals is compulsory. Attendance is recorded for each practical session. Punctuality at practicals is essential - all tutors
will enforce a '10-minute late lockout' rule. If you miss a practical you will need to follow the School of Pharmacy policy on 'Absences from compulsory
classes' (refer to Section 6.1 of ECP). 

3.  Placement (4 hours)


There is ONE HALF-DAY Community Pharmacy Placement in PHRM1012. This placement is one 4-hour placement.  This will be organised by either the
student or the School, and is scheduled for Week 11.

Further information regarding the placement and what students are required to do will be uploaded onto the PHRM1012 Blackboard site in Week 1.

All administrative issues regarding placements should be directed to the Placements O cer via PACE Reception.
A Placement Manual is provided to students to guide learning in the pharmacy.
Whilst on placement, students are required to wear their University of Queensland School of Pharmacy Placements uniform and name badge at ALL times
in the pharmacy.  Other instructions about dress, presentation and behaviour are detailed in the Placement Manual.
 
All academic issues regarding placement activity should be directed to the course coordinator.
 
4. Independent Learning (2-6 hours per week)
Regular homework consists of reviewing Lecture and Practical content and additional readings (details on Blackboard). This material will be examined
weekly via online quizzes. The purpose of independent learning is to support your preparation for the end-of-semester written exam, to help develop your
academic reading and listening skills, and to re-inforce your learnt knowledge and enhance your understanding.  
 
A 2 unit course represents approximately 10 hours of work per week including face-to-face contact. Therefore, you may need to spend up to 6 hours per
week on independent learning and completing course assessments.

5.4 Other Assessment Information


The placement component is worth 5% of the PHRM1012 mark (mark comes from Professional Development Task - see Blackboard for
associated assessment rubric/marking criteria). The completed and submitted con dentiality statement and student immunisation record are compulsory
in order to undertake placements. It is compulsory to attend your placement (evidence via completion and submission of the placement attendance record
form) to recieve any marks for your Professional Development Task (5%).   

The School of Pharmacy permits the resubmission or resitting of failed assessment items in speci c and de ned circumstances.

The Professional Development Task (5% of the course) and Online Quizzes (20% of the course) have no minimum passing requirements and any marks
gained will be added to the overall mark for the course, thus count towards the nal grade for the course. The Placement ePortfolio Task (Professional
Development Task) and Online Quizzes are not eligible for resubmission.

In the Oral Exam and Final Written Exam students must attain at least 50% to pass the course. The Oral Exam also has an 'essential section' that must be
passed by 50%, this is the Patient Counselling section. In this course, the Oral Exam component is eligible for consideration for a resit. After resitting, the
maximum result is a pass mark for that assessment component. Students who are granted a resit for the Oral Exam and do not attend by the scheduled
date will not be permitted to reschedule the assessment. The Oral Exam resits will be held the week following nal exams (18 - 22 November 2019 -
Recess Week).

Remarking of assessment: Students are able to request a re-mark if they have valid reasons for disputing a mark awarded. The University has a formal
process for remarking that we are required to follow. The student must rst review their marks and feedback carefully. Then, they should contact and
receive feedback from the Course Coordinator and then complete a Request for Assessment Re-Marking form, outlining their case. If a re-mark is
approved, in all cases, the re-mark replaces the original mark, which could lead to the nal grade going up, down, or remaining the same. Full details of the

Academic Integrity
It is the University's task to encourage ethical scholarship and to inform students and staff about the institutional standards of academic behaviour
expected of them in learning, teaching and research. Students have a responsibility to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity in their work.
Students must not cheat in examinations or other forms of assessment and must ensure they do not plagiarise.

Academic Integrity Tutorial - Support for Students


It may seem simple – don’t cheat and do reference your work. However, there are many issues involved in understanding what is meant by academic
integrity and how you could be misled into engaging in an action which may be academic misconduct. The Academic Integrity Tutorial (AIT)
(https://www.uq.edu.au/integrity/) will enable you to uphold academic integrity throughout your studies at UQ and beyond. All students are strongly
encouraged to complete the module. Some course coordinators may require you to complete the module as part of your assessment.

Plagiarism
The University has adopted the following de nition of plagiarism:

Plagiarism is the act of misrepresenting as one's own original work the ideas, interpretations, words or creative works of another. These include published
and unpublished documents, designs, music, sounds, images, photographs, computer codes and ideas gained through working in a group. These ideas,
interpretations, words or works may be found in print and/or electronic media.

Students are encouraged to read the UQ Student Integrity and Misconduct policy (http://ppl.app.uq.edu.au/content/3.60.04-student-integrity-and-
misconduct (http://ppl.app.uq.edu.au/content/3.60.04-student-integrity-and-misconduct)) which makes a comprehensive statement about the University's
approach to plagiarism, including the approved use of plagiarism detection software, the consequences of plagiarism and the principles associated with
preventing plagiarism.
