Credit points: 15
Subject outline
Many factors in a person's life can affect their health and the way they approach their healthcare. This is especially pertinent when that person may be using substances. An important element of pharmaceutical care is to take these factors and the person's level of health literacy into account when dealing with them as a patient. This requires pharmacists to change their approach to a patient accordingly. Students will learn about heath literacy, motivational interviewing, cognitive behaviour therapy and other counselling frameworks and the communication skills to respond appropriately. Topics covered include health and emotional literacy, conflict and challenging behaviour, ethics, privacy and consent, mental health, abuse, addiction, loss and grief, sexuality, stigma and discrimination and cultural and religious diversity. Successful completion of this subject also affords the student Mental Health First Aid certification.
