Non-Medical Prescribing
This course is intended for practitioners who are registered as nurses or midwives with the Nursing and Midwifery Council and are in good standing with them. Applicants must have been registered for at least one year, have relevant post-registration patient-oriented experience in a suitable practise context, and have selected an area in which to build independent prescription practise.
Prescribing by a variety of experts has evolved over time, allowing for advances in the efficiency and efficacy of health care delivery. To accommodate the increased demand for prescription courses both nationally and locally, the practise certificate and post-graduate practise certifications in non-medical prescribing have been established.
The course consists of one core 40-credit module that is studied over two semesters and allows practitioners to work freely when making clinical decisions for the individuals in their care, while also being conscious of personal limitations within their developing field of professional competence. This inter-professional programme prepares students to become competent Non-Medical Prescribers (NMP) (also known as Independent / Supplementary Prescribers) as recognised by their relevant professional regulating body.
