Course summary

The requirements and outcomes of the module are derived from prescribing standards set by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), and the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). The module is underpinned by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society competency framework for prescribers. You will learn about the practicalities of prescribing as well as exploring the wider issues related to prescribing practice. You will develop your knowledge gained in the classroom into your clinical area and apply to your planned area of prescribing practice. We consider pharmacology and how this impacts your prescribing decision making in practice. There are opportunities to learn from prescribers and experts as well as working with peers to explore complex issues.
