Independent Prescribing

This Course has been designed to enable suitably experienced nurses, midwives, paramedics, pharmacists, and physiotherapists to become independent prescribers.

This course has been designed to facilitate practitioners in achieving prescribing competency as set out by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) document “A competency framework for all prescribers”, and in line with the Standards for prescribing set out by the respective regulators. This course combines the existing stand alone prescribing module with a Developing and Evidencing Prescribing Competence module, allowing the practitioner to fully develop end evidence theire prescribing practice and attain a full award.
The independent prescribing module will be a good choice for suitably experienced registered health care professionals who wish to become independent prescribers. Completing this module would allow practitioners to prescribe within the relevant area of practice
