Medway School of Pharmacy in United Kingdom 

The Medway School of Pharmacy is a unique collaboration between the University of Greenwich and the University of Kent. Since opening in 2004 we have become recognised as an established school of pharmacy, by the regulator The General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC).

Our mission
Our mission is to produce, through innovative teaching and research delivered in a supportive and caring environment, high-quality professional graduates committed to lifelong learning.

A number of strategic objectives have been developed from our mission statement:

To anticipate future needs of the Profession, Industry and the National Health Service and to provide high quality versatile resourceful practitioners to meet those needs.
To widen access to educational opportunities through the development of a broad portfolio of programmes and courses and new approaches to teaching and learning.
To develop an internationally recognised research reputation that will exploit the multidisciplinary nature of the school.
To engage postgraduate students in lifelong learning through registration for higher degrees and/or Continuous Professional Development (CPD) by the development of innovative multidisciplinary approaches to education and training.
To provide enterprise and consultancy in support of the Profession, Industry and the National Health Service.
To continue to develop a vibrant school that empowers staff and students to maximise their contribution, through the provision of good working conditions and a variety of personal and professional development opportunities.
To observe high professional standards in all activities.
Innovation led
We have designed an innovative patient-focused MPharm programme and believe that the future of pharmacy lies in meeting patients’ needs through working in partnership with patients, other health-care professionals, the NHS and industry. Pharmacists are the only healthcare professionals with a unique knowledge of medicines from manufacture to their use in patients, and pharmacy offers a wide range of career options. Our MPharm programme already provides a significant amount of work placements to enhance the clinical learning, competencies and employability skills of our graduates.
