Distance Learning

Since 1995 The Commonwealth Pharmacists Association has been providing this essential education resource for pharmacists, doctors, nurses, technicians, stores clerks and health administration – in fact all health workers involved in the management of drug supplies.

It includes sections specific to the handling of medicines used in the treatment of HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis.

The course is managed by the School of Pharmacy, University of Limpopo, MEDUNSA Campus and is available as hard copy or CD-ROM, and is subsidised by the Commonwealth Pharmacists Association, the cost to the student is therefore minimal. It allows easy self-paced learning at home or place of employment – no time off work, no travel required.

This course is a must to ensure the cost effective and rational use of medicines
