Non-Medical Prescribing
The Post Graduate Certificate in Pharmacist Independent Prescribing is designed for licenced pharmacists with at least two years of patient-oriented experience in a relevant UK practise environment after registration.
This therapeutically enriched course is supported by four study domains: person-centered care, professionalism, professional knowledge and skills, and teamwork (GPhC 2019). You will grow as a clinical pharmacist who is taught to perform advanced responsibilities in person-centered care and encouraged to pursue clinically autonomous positions as a prescriber. Early patient experience in a work-based learning setting will allow you to contextualise your theoretical pharmacology knowledge and then apply it to practical prescription practise.
