Course objectives
The course aims to provide students with a basic overview of legal regulations related to the performance of the profession of health workers and the provision of health services. • Content focus: • The subject is mainly focused on selected basic legal regulations in the field of healthcare and pharmaceutical law. • Another no less important part of the content of the course is familiarization with the basic non-disciplinary legal regulations that affect situations that will be encountered in practical professional life. • Teaching is also devoted to ethics and promoting activities that emphasize communication skills to establish effective communication, cooperation, and understanding between healthcare professionals and patients. • It, therefore, strives both for a broader theoretical grounding of students' legal awareness and for specific targeting of practical aspects of pharmaceutical and clinical-pharmaceutical care as well as other pharmaceutical disciplines.
