AdvDip(CPD) Non-Medical Independent and Supplementary Prescribing for Allied Health Care Professionals (HE7)

University of Greater Manchester

Allied health professionals (AHPs) make up one of the largest and arguably most important groups of professionals in the UK. Increasingly in high demand, AHPs come from a range of medical and related backgrounds, bringing diverse skill sets to their roles. Ideal for AHPs with at least three years of experience, this course will challenge you to apply planning, cooperation, critical analysis and decision-making skills to your work, taking account of local or national guidelines. You'll explore a wide range of subjects, including clinical pharmacology, the psychology of prescribing and professional accountability, and have the opportunity to complete practice-based learning under the supervision of your mentor. The programme is designed to meet the needs of AHPs and their employers. It aims to equip you with the communication skills, diagnostic abilities and legal and professional understanding necessary for safe, appropriate and cost-effective prescribing. With a professional development qualification in non-medical independent and supplementary prescribing from the University of Bolton, you'll have the chance to build on your knowledge and experience, offer advanced patient care and become more competitive in the jobs market. This course is known colloquially as V300, although this term is purely an NMC term.
