Master of Pharmacy (MPharm) students at the University of Manchester experience service learning during the third year of the course. The students put their academic learning into practice and develop many professional skills whilst teaching and enthusing local high school pupils about various public health topics. This article explores how this example of service learning helps prepare the next generation of pharmacists for their future roles and summarises the practical aspects of the project and its success.
