Non-Medical Prescribing
This is an interesting programme of study that, upon completion, allows students to apply to the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) to have their qualification recorded and to practise as an Independent Pharmacist Prescriber. Pharmacist prescribing has developed to improve access to medications and to use pharmacists’ skills and knowledge in providing care. Pharmacists are able to finish episodes of care where appropriate, while also increasing their position within the team. Patients are pleased with their experience with Pharmacist Independent Prescribing.
Students usually note that this is the most difficult course they have taken since their pre-registration programme, but also the most gratifying. Students express satisfaction with the course’s organisation and the assistance offered for their preparation as prescribers. The programme delivery is intended to offer students with opportunities to obtain feedback to help them grow their knowledge, comprehension, and prescribing practise throughout the programme. We take into account all student comments and use it to improve the student experience and outcomes.
