Non-Medical Prescribing
Nurses, midwives, pharmacists, physiotherapists, and podiatrists can all prescribe with the Advanced Certificate Non-medical Prescribing (subject to annotation of the relevant professional register). It is intended for practitioners who want to improve their clinical practise by prescribing as Independent Prescribers and/or Supplementary Prescribers using Clinical Management Plans in accordance with relevant professional standards set by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC), and the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) (HCPC). Because the training is broad, you may apply the concepts directly to your particular practise area or expertise.
Nurses and midwives will get the V300 Independent and Supplementary Prescribing entry to the NMC register upon successful completion of the course and subsequent registration with the appropriate regulating authority.
Pharmacists will be given a ‘Practice Certificate in Independent Prescribing,’ which they can use to get their GPhC registration noted.
The HCPC will provide a declaration of competence to Allied Health Professionals (physiotherapists, chiropodists/podiatrists, therapeutic radiographers) to practise as an Independent and/or Supplementary Prescriber.
The HCPC will provide a declaration of competence to practise as a Supplementary Prescriber to Allied Health Professionals (diagnostic radiographers, dieticians).
