Non-Medical Prescribing

Swansea University offers the Non-Medical prescription certificate as a stand-alone 40 credit module – Non-Medical prescribing (GPhC) SHGM22 (recognised by the GPhC) or as a Post Graduate Certificate in Non-Medical prescribing.

The Post Graduate Certificate combines the stand-alone subject (SHGM22) with an extra pharmacology module (20 credits). Some pharmacists may pick this option if they have not studied in a long time or if they want to obtain another academic certification.

The Non-Medical Prescribing certification will provide you with the information and abilities required to prescribe safely and responsibly within your field of practise.
