Annotation -
The issue of ensuring the quality and safety of medicines is a topical task of modern pharmacy worldwide. Pharmaceutical analysis (FA) addresses this area. The attention in the subjects Pharmaceutical Analysis I and II is mainly focused on the pharmacopoeial analysis and analytical evaluation of drugs, especially according to Czech and European Pharmacopoeia. Subject Advanced Pharmacy Analysis (AFA) follows the theoretical and practical teaching of above-mentioned subjects and offers the students a broadening of knowledge in the field of pharmaceutico-analytical and bioanalytical evaluation of drugs, including familiarization with modern trends in these fields. One of the aims of the PFA course is to bring students closer to the activities aimed at ensuring the quality and safety of medicines in the pharmaceutical industry. This topic will be presented by practitioners who professionally deal with quality control and quality assurance. Teaching will focus not only on theory but also on practical skills.
