PHAR2921: Infectious Diseases
2024 unit information
This unit of study focuses on infectious diseases, integrating the science underpinning the cause and treatment of infectious diseases, with pharmacy practice-related aspects. The science component focuses on the biology and pathogenicity of microorganisms; the physiology, epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical features of infectious diseases; the antimicrobial agents used to treat infections, and the related issue of antimicrobial resistance; as well as cleanroom technology, sterile production, compounding, and infection control measures. All these underpin and provide context to the practice-related components of the unit, which includes extemporaneous preparations, dispensing, medicines and health services, and antimicrobial stewardship. Students reinforce learning through participating in hands-on practicals and applying their knowledge and skills in workshops and tutorials involving case-based scenarios of managing patients with infectious diseases.
