📖 LEARNING HIGHLIGHTS
Pharmacokinetics
Our 0924 cohort enjoyed a morning of hands-on learning as they applied key concepts of pharmacokinetics. In groups, they were challenged to create posters on a drug of their choice, putting their understanding of medicines firmly to the test. The range and quality of the posters produced was truly impressive, with careful attention to detail evident in every entry. After much deliberation, a winner was chosen – and it was clear that the balloon dachshund captured everyone’s imagination!
