PHA3FNH
2021
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
In this subject, you will begin to develop the knowledge and skills required to work effectively and safely with Australian First Nations peoples in the healthcare environment. You will explore key features and concepts related to traditional and contemporary First Nations cultures and communities; multi-dimensional models of First Nations health and healing; and the underlying social determinants influencing current health outcomes, including historical and cultural factors. You will also explore concepts related to health inequality, reflect on the responsibility of the whole health system in improving First Nations health outcomes, and consider how culturally safe pharmacy practice can contribute to closing the gap in Indigenous health disadvantage. The concepts of honouring First Nations knowledge, strength-based approaches, and evidenced-based learning are strongly reinforced throughout the subject. This subject is delivered via a blended learning approach comprising on-line modules and face-to face workshops.
