Non-Medical Prescribing
This course leads to the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC)-approved Practice Certificate in Independent Prescribing, which is essential to work as an independent prescriber.
The course is typically finished in 12 months, however it can be done in less time. It consists of nine required on-campus study days during which you will learn about therapeutic issues, clinical skills and evaluation, and much more. You will have the chance to improve your awareness and understanding of clinical evaluation and examination of patients in the following anatomic/therapeutic systems: respiratory, cardiovascular, gastro-intestinal, musculoskeletal, and nervous.
The course addresses all of the learning goals outlined in the GPhC’s Educational Standards, with a focus on clinical decision-making, patient safety, and the professional and ethical elements of prescription practise.
Once qualified and your registration is properly annotated, you will be able to take on new challenges and possibilities that non-prescribers will not be able to take on. As a result, the course is revolutionary in terms of your continuous professional growth and clinical utility, which ultimately improves your career options and employment happiness. The General Pharmaceutical Council has further information.
This is the only GPhC-approved Independent Prescribing course in the North East of England created particularly for pharmacists.
You will complete a minimum of 90 hours of supervised practise with a designated prescribing practitioner; ideally, this will be a medical practitioner to ensure a diversified experience during your training, but non-medical prescribers may be considered as well.
Using a combination of teaching and experience training approaches, we will educate you to become an autonomous pharmacist independent prescriber.
The Independent Prescribing certification is available as an optional module for people participating in, or interested in enrolling in, the MSc Clinical Pharmacy programme, as well as as a stand-alone course.
