PgCert Non-medical Prescribing and Enhanced Clinical Skills

This course offers registered nurses, pharmacists, and allied health professionals (such as physiotherapists, podiatrists, paramedics, radiographers and occupational therapist) an opportunity to enhance their clinical skills and practice and become an independent non-medical prescriber. This increases your potential to access career opportunities and improves the service user/patient and carer experience by offering a timely and responsive access route to treatment.

This is a part-time course with two 30 credit modules starting in September or January. The delivery is a blended learning approach including taught blocks and online study – for both, there is a requirement for learning to take place within your own area of clinical practice.

You will:

• Be taught by a multi-professional team of independent prescribers and clinical experts
• Build the confidence to critically evaluate and challenge prescribing practice with reference to evidence based practice, equality and diversity and clinical governance
• Create and implement new approaches to care delivering that meets the needs of your client group
