Non-Medical Prescribing
The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPC), and the Health Professions Council (HPC) have all accredited this innovative multi-professional course (HPC).
The enabling legislative framework allows practitioners who fulfil the entrance standards to practise independently and/or additional prescription. Practitioners who successfully complete the course will have their prescribing certification recorded with the appropriate professional authority.
Students in this course will expand on existing practise to improve the knowledge, skills, and competencies needed to practise as Independent and/or Supplementary Non-Medical Prescribers in a safe, acceptable, and cost-effective manner.
The course is situated at the Ipswich waterfront campus and is divided into two semesters, beginning in September and ending in June. Campus-based learning is spread out across 26 days, and there is also a need to complete 12 days of supervised practise under the supervision of a designated medical supervisor (Doctor). You will be asked to participate in related individual study activities in addition to the timetabled programme.
The course can be taken as a stand-alone course at the level 7 level (masters).
