Independent and Supplementary Prescribing

This module results in registered pharmacists being able to apply to the GPhC or the PSNI for annotation on the professional register as Independent (non-medical prescribers). There are 26 days of structured learning activities (8 days face-to-face and 18 days distance learning), and 90 hours of learning in practice. The education programme aims to prepare pharmacists to prescribe safely, appropriately and cost-effectively as an independent prescriber. The module has been developed based on the GPhC (regulator for pharmacists and accrediting organisation) 'Standards for the education and training of pharmacist independent prescribers, January 2019'.
