Our Independent Prescribing short course will enable healthcare professionals to take on the role of an independent prescriber in their area of practice. Pharmacists and nurses are taught together to facilitate multidisciplinary learning and working. A large proportion of the learning will be delivered online, providing a flexible approach to learning by allowing students the benefit of studying this in their own time. This 30-credit course is available for study at level 7 (master's level). The course runs over four months and normally has two intakes each year. The course includes eight days of compulsory university-attended sessions (nine for nurses/midwives) and 18 days of self-directed learning, which will be delivered through e-learning and self-directed study. The course aims to use your current experiences of practice and encourage the development and application of new knowledge and skills to practice. It aim to: enable you to successfully meet the standards set out by the General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC) and the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), allowing you to apply for registration to practice as an independent prescriber; produce competent non-medical prescribers who can provide safe, effective and evidence-based prescribing to address the needs of patients in practice; enable pharmacists and nurses to develop the skills, knowledge and attributes required for safe and effective prescribing practice; help you develop a systematic, evidence-based and reflective approach to independent prescribing practice; identify your own learning needs, develop as a critically reflective practitioner and advance your own learning to sustain continuing professional development, and work at the forefront of your profession
