Integrated pharmacy degree

[Asterix]

What is everyone's opinion on this. With the new pharmacy body coming into force, it could mean a new 5 yr undergraduate programme.

I already do Bradford's 5 year programme and I personally think its awesome that the government wants all schools to adopt the integrated degree approach. Clinical placements are essential for learning things difficult to teach in lectures and its really gonna move pharmacy in line with medicine, dentistry and veterinary science. Its an essential step forward I think. All we need now is the funding and HEFCE needs to step this up.
