Diploma in hospital pharmacy?

[lrpolo]

Hi, I'm a locum pharmacist working in hospitals, and am tired of being stuck in the dispensary all the time cos I'm not allowed on wards as I haven't done a cert or a diploma so don't have the required clinical knowledge. Can anyone recommend any suitable courses that I can enrol with privately, preferably ones that I can complete quickly?

Thanks

Not anymore. The seperate certificate and diploma courses have just come to an end. They have been replaced with a three-year diploma (no certificate anymore) that has a lot of bits that need to be signed off in the workplace - aseptics, production etc. I'm not sure if this is possible to do privately.
