Non-Medical Prescribing
The module is divided into three parts: online learning, a “virtual residential time” of teaching and training, and a period of practise learning.
The programme is fully given via distance learning, utilising a variety of web-based learning tools. There is a one-week mandatory ‘virtual residential’ period during which you will study module elements that are more effectively taught and assessed face-to-face, such as communication and history-taking, consultation skills, and the development and synthesis of treatment plans for individual patients. There are also extremely relevant talks from a number of guest specialists during the virtual residential week.
The virtual residential week for the January intake is toward the end of April/beginning of May, whereas the virtual residential week for the September intake is in January.
