The aim of this course is to allow healthcare practitioners working in advanced and autonomous roles to expand their knowledge of prescribing governance, the professional aspects of prescribing and the prescribing in the wider context. They will apply this knowledge in the clinical domain enhancing their ability to assess and manage patients presenting with acute and/or complex long term health problems.
The outcomes of this course are mapped to the current guidance from the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and the document “A Competency Framework for all Prescribers” produced by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society.
Information on contact teaching time is available from the course guide.
Two 2000-word essays (35% each), two clinical work-based assessments (15% each).
Students will develop personal formulary and a prescribing Logbook during their work based learning.
Feedback on the personal formulary development will be given on an ongoing basis throughout the courses, as the formulary develops and expands.
Essay feedback will be provided within the standard period as set out by the University for the written exam.
There will be immediate feedback on the summative work based assessments.
