Course description

This course within the Master of Nurse Practitioner program aims to assist students to develop a comprehensive knowledge of pharmacology (pharmacodynamics & pharmacokinetics) and therapeutic interventions to be applied within clinical practice. This knowledge will underpin critical analysis of the safety and accountability in the use and evaluation of pharmacological and non-pharmacological management for consumers in line with the National Prescribing Competencies Framework. This course will further enable Nurse Practitioner students working in advanced health care roles to develop their knowledge of the human sciences underpinning pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions.
