Non-Medical Prescribing
This course aims to produce competent pharmacist prescribers capable of providing an independent and supplemental prescription service that is safe and effective while taking into consideration the needs of patients, professions, and relevant health organisations. We will: – Meet the GPhC suggested curriculum criteria for pharmacist independent prescribing – Assist experienced practitioners in reviewing and reflecting on their existing practise to decide what skills, knowledge, and attitudes they need to grow in order to become autonomous prescribers. – Allow practitioners to develop competence in the art and science of prescribing.
This integrated multi-professional training will prepare healthcare professionals to act as independent and/or supplemental prescribers. To enhance interdisciplinary teamwork, pharmacists and nurses are educated together. The GPhC and the NMC both offer an indicative syllabus and learning outcomes that serve as a foundation for the curriculum.
