Non-Medical Prescribing

Independent and supplemental prescription is a critical area of practise for pharmacists, requiring a wide grasp of the pharmacy field as well as demonstrated practise abilities. Pharmacists must be able to practise in a safe and effective manner, which necessitates understanding of clinical pharmacology, governance, professional responsibility, and legal, policy, and ethical considerations. All of these topics, as well as others, will be covered in our Non-Medical Independent and Supplementary Prescribing for Pharmacists professional development course.
You’ll also have lots of chances to put your knowledge to use. Students collaborate with medical experts to practise their abilities in a clinical context, receiving coaching and feedback to help them grow. You will be required to develop abilities such as planning, collaboration, and cooperation, as well as critical thinking and reasonable decision making. You’ll be able to advance in your profession by assessing and using information sources, as well as staying up to date on current trends in industry and policy.
