Compulsory Modules There are two compulsory modules within the Membership programme. These are offered on a biannual basis. MM2 - Practice Pharmacy in a Professional Manner (formerly called Law & Ethics) offered in 2011 MM4 - Communication Skills offered in 2010
Practice Pharmacy in a Professional Manner (MM2) 50 Credits Will next be offered in 2011 Pharmacists are often required to exercise professional judgement based on our experience and knowledge of the relevant legal and ethical obligations. This then allows an assessment of the consequences of a range of decisions. Presented by Dr Fiona McCrimmon, this module will offer a working knowledge of the legislation, Pharmacist’s Code of Ethics and patient rights - this forms part of Competency Standard One.
Elective Modules The additional 300 credits required for Membership can be chosen either from NZCP Elective Modules or accredited programmes offered by other providers. One 50 credit elective module can be gained by accumulating short accredited activities. These credits must be in multiples of at least 5 credits per provider per annum within a 5 year period.
