PHRM1012
This printed course pro le is valid at the date and time speci ed above. The course pro le may be subject to change during the semester - the online
version is the authoritative version.
Mode: Internal
Level: Undergraduate
Number of Units: 2
Incompatible: PHRM1010
Course Description: This course is designed to give you the foundation knowledge and skills in community pharmacy and over-the-counter (OTC)
medicines. Course topics include: Pharmacy retail management; pain, in ammation and fever; smoking cessation; dermatology and wound care;
complementary medicines; coughs and colds; allergies; ear care; pregnancy & maternal health; baby care; gastrointestinal conditions.
Assumed Background:
No prior experience in pharmacy practice is required. The general prerequisites for entry into the BPharm program apply. Students should have good verbal
and written communication skills and good skills in mathematical calculations.
Please Note: PHRM1012 includes a four hour experiential Placement in a community pharmacy. This placement is largely observational. Prior to
undertaking Placements in the undergraduate programme, there is a requirement to be immunised against particular diseases. Please contact the School
of Pharmacy reception for more information.
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.

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.

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.

the submission of the revised assessment will be given and penalties will apply – the resubmitted work will not be graded higher than a pass, and

All deadlines must conform with General Award Rule 1A.5.5.
https://course-profiles.uq.edu.au/student_section_loader/print/96358?print_section_1=1&print_section_2=1&print_section_3=1&print_section_4=1&print_section_… 7/15
12/14/2019 Course Profiles - The University of Queensland
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
University’s Re-Marking policy, including the Request for Assessment Re-Marking form can be obtained from the UQ Website (PPL 3.10.10
(https://ppl.app.uq.edu.au/content/3.10.10-assessment-re-mark)).
If a student is awarded supplementary assessment for the course, the assessment/s will be tailored to the student based on speci c learning outcomes
and can take any form (for example, an oral, written exam or both). The highest grade you can recieve is a 4 or Pass. For information about applying for
Supplementary assessment see: https://my.uq.edu.au/information-and-services/manage-my-program/exams-and-assessment/supplementary-
assessment.

during or after the placement. The work sheets are NOT to be submitted, however it is expected that students will use them as prompts for their re ection
while completing this Professional Development Task, and the questions will be referred to in practicals after the placement.
After the placement, students will submit the Professional Development Task which will focus on an account of at least one pharmacy interaction they
have observed and they will re ect on their observations. The pharmacy interaction will be linked to the "National Competency Standards Framework for
Pharmacists in Australia 2016", Domain 2, Standard 2.3, Enabling Competency 1. The re ection process will be based upon SEAL model of re ection. More
information will be provided in lectures, practicals, on the PHRM1012 Blackboard site and via the Placement Manual.
