Pharmacy 藥劑學課程

藥劑學課程 Pharmacy,都係好多同學會考慮的專業醫療學科之一,究竟藥劑學嘅學習內容係咩,出路如何,以及香港同海外大學嘅入學要求和教授內容有甚麼分別呢?
藥理及藥劑學(下稱藥劑學)是一門針對藥物製造的綜合套用技術學科,研究藥物製劑劑型的基本理論、處方設計、生產工藝、套用方法以及藥物的吸收、代謝及排泄關係。

藥劑學主要針對藥物劑型開展研究,在設計一種藥物劑型時,除了要滿足醫療、預防的需要外,同時須全面考慮藥物的各種性質:根據藥物理化性質不同,體內吸收代謝特點不同,要達到治療效果,減少副作用、不良反應,需要在藥物的生產加工中採取合適的處方設計;採用適合劑型,適合的給藥途徑;同時滿足藥物本身的保管、運輸要求。滿足上述各點,才能確保藥物安全、有效和穩定。

藥劑師除了配藥外,還需要與醫療團隊配合工作,包括檢查醫生處方的藥物、為患者選擇最恰當的藥物劑量、指導病人正確服用藥物的方法和其他注意事項等。

職責

藥劑師是專職醫護人員。隨着本港醫院院舍逐漸落成,以及對醫療體系人手需求急升,藥劑業界對藥物監控工作的人力需求亦有所提升。藥劑師的主要工作包括:

  • 監督配藥員進行配藥工作
  • 按照醫生的處方為病人配藥
  • 進行正確藥物標籤
  • 妥善處理及儲存藥物

To practise as a pharmacist, you have to be registered with the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC). To register, you need to study for an accredited Masters degree in pharmacy (MPharm). Universities across the UK offer the course, which lasts four years, full time.

After university, to become a fully qualified pharmacist you’ll need to:

  • work for a 1-year pre-registration period under supervision in a community or hospital pharmacy
  • pass a registration exam

In order to become a licensed pharmacist in Canada, you need:

  1. A bachelor’s or doctor of pharmacy degree from one of 10 Canadian universities
  2. To complete a national board examination through the Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada (PEBC) (except Québec)
  3. Practical experience through an apprenticeship/internship program
  4. Fluency in English or French

The profession of pharmacy is regulated on a provincial and territorial level. The regulatory authorities are directly responsible for granting pharmacist licenses, assessing the competency of pharmacists and ensuring public safety. For a detailed look at the specific provincial licensing requirements in every province, visit the National Association of Pharmacy Regulatory Authorities (NAPRA).

To become a registered pharmacist in Australia you must complete an accredited university degree in pharmacy, a one-year paid internship and intern training program and then pass the Pharmacy Board’s registration examination.

Straight from high-school

You can apply to study pharmacy as an undergraduate student straight from high school if you meet the minimum ATAR or other Public Qualifications requirements.

Complete a 1-year internship and concurrent intern training program

Upon graduating with a degree in pharmacy, you will be required to apply for ‘provisional’ registration with the Pharmacy Board of Australia in order to complete a one-year paid internship.

Working under the supervision of a registered pharmacist, as an intern you will build on the practical experience gained in your degree to ensure you have the skills required for all areas of pharmacy practice, including:

  • preparing and dispensing medications and ointments
  • providing advice on prescription medications, ‘over-the-counter’ products and complementary medicines (including selection, dosage, interactions, side-effects and therapeutic effects)
  • liaising with patients, their doctors and family to determine medication history and correct dosages
  • checking for errors and conducting medication reviews
  • promoting health awareness
  • understanding legally recognised standards and government regulations for the supply of medicines
During this period of supervised practice, you must also complete an accredited Intern Training Program (ITP).

Sit the Pharmacy Board of Australia’s registration exam

Only once you complete this internship and training program will you be able to sit the Pharmacy Board’s registration examination (comprising of a written and oral component) and be eligible to apply for general registration as a pharmacist in Australia.

Pharmacists require this registration to find employment in a variety of clinical settings and specialities, including hospital and community pharmacies, consultancy, government and industrial positions.

To register and practise as a pharmacist in New Zealand, a four-year University programme leading to a Bachelor of Pharmacy (BPharm) degree followed by 52 weeks of trainee internship at approved pharmaceutical establishments has to be undertaken.
