Professional and Personal Development
OUR COMMITMENT TO PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
Through professional and personal development we will ensure that our graduates have a strong identity as pharmacists and scientists, which in turn will allow them to demonstrate professionalism and integrity, as well as to truly appreciate the societal impact that they will have within healthcare or health science.
OUR INNOVATION IN PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
We ensure that the development of students' professional identity is fully integrated throughout our programmes, offering opportunities for students to learn about, and practice key aspects of professionalism, as well as engaging with professional role models. Key areas of focus include:
- Preparedness for practice
- Fitness to practise cases
- Unconscious bias
- Professional identity
- Moral reasoning and ethical dilemmas
- Professionalism (social media, smoking tobacco and alcohol, use of cognitive enhancers, and promotion of products that lack evidence of effectiveness)
Consideration of the health and wellbeing of our students is another aspect of personal and professional development. Key areas of innovation are related to:
- Managing study and professional stress
- Resilience
- Veganism
- Mental health
- Achievement goal orientations
- Self-care and use of OTC medicines
Below, you'll be able to read more about our ongoing innovation in the enhancement of our students' professional identity, in a manner considerate of their health and wellbeing, and of those who'll they'll interact with as professionals.
