Description

Purpose:

This Qualification is for learners who have entered the area of pharmaceutical sales representation. ‘Pharmaceutical’ includes medicines, medical products, medical devices, scheduled substances, veterinary medicines, products and devices, in accordance with the relevant current legislation. This area involves visiting and presenting information about medicines and related products to health care professionals, with the purpose of generating sales through the prescribing, dispensing and use of the products. Since medical doctors, veterinarians and pharmacists comprise the majority of potential clients, the industry requires well-schooled individuals who can provide accurate product information to potential clients but who can also adapt their communication styles to suit each individual clients’ needs. The Qualification is intended to produce credible, ethical and informed sales representatives who will be able to take specific product knowledge to the client.

Although this Qualification and its associated Unit Standards are shown to fall into the subfield ‘Curative Health’ they are also applicable across all the other recognised sub-fields in the Organising Field: Health Sciences and Social Services.

On successful completion of this qualification the learner will be eligible for registration with the relevant statutory council (currently the South African Pharmacy Council) as a Pharmaceutical Representative.
