Non-Medical Prescribing
This is a well-established and effective independent prescription programme for pharmacists, nurses, midwives, physiotherapists, podiatrists, radiographers, and dietitians.
It is a part-time blended learning programme that will prepare you to become an independent prescriber (community and primary care pharmacists, nurses, midwives, physiotherapists, podiatrists, paramedics, and therapeutic radiographers) or supplemental prescriber (diagnostic radiographers and dietitians). You get the information and abilities necessary to practise as prescribers and achieve the requirements established by your particular professional/regulatory organisation. Available for a period of eight or twelve months. Level 6 is also accessible for nurses/midwives.
If you want to become a prescriber as a pharmacist, nurse, midwife, physiotherapist, podiatrist, radiographer, or dietician, this is the curriculum for you.
As part of the University of Greenwich’s MSc Advanced Clinical Practice, we also offer a 40-credit programme. If you are a part of this Greenwich curriculum and have chosen the Prescribing module, you must also fill out our Prescribing Application form.
We are no longer accepting applications for the Clinically Enhanced Prescribing Programme. This programme is open to pharmacists working in hospital, mental health, and community trusts, as well as CCG pharmacists.
When combined with our Clinical Consultation Assessment and Diagnosis short course module, hospital pharmacists in the HEE LaSE area are eligible for financing for the Prescribing programme.
There are two programme durations to pick from. You can study for the REGULAR eight-month programme or the EXTENDED 12-month programme. Those having a clearly defined area of practise will be given priority for the normal duration programme. The extended programme is for anybody who would like or benefit from a longer term of study. It is especially appropriate for Level 6 students and community pharmacists.
There is no connection between Medlrn and this university. We just share universities that give Medical Prescribing courses to help people. Please keep in mind, that checking all information, application date and time, application fees and requirements which shares on this website is your responsibility.
