Tematika

Topics discussed during the semester are incorporating legislative, communication and counseling knowledge and skills essential to pharmacist during the dispensing process. A comprehensive list of common conditions is discussed, self-medication and non-prescription pharmacotherapy are introduced and applied in practice during seminars.

The subject’s role in the curriculum: The basic task of the subject is to improve communication skills and emphasize the importance of good communication in pharmacy practice. Knowledge related to the drug supply chain illustrated by the Hungarian environment and the regulation of prescribing and dispensing provides practical implications of applied pharmacy practice. The aim of the subject is to attract students' interest to communication and counseling, non-prescription pharmacotherapy, and the importance of medication adherence. Interactive group work of the seminars and simulated patient scenarios focusing on acute (minor) diseases will improve problem solving, communication and creative thinking skills.
