Following successful completion of this module, qualified Nurses and Pharmacists are now able to prescribe any licensed medicine for any medical condition within their competence, including some Controlled Drugs.

A chiropodist, podiatrist, radiographer or physiotherapist registered with the HPC may also undertake training to qualify as a supplementary prescriber.

Target audience

Admission to the module is dependent on the following criteria:

• Three years qualified for nurses & AHPs, two years for pharmacists with professional registration
• A clinical need for prescribing
• Sufficient knowledge of the practice area in which prescribing will take place
• A current Enhanced Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check

Nurses and midwives should be assessed by their employer as competent at history taking, assessment and diagnosis, or if not, should undertake a module to meet this requirement at the same time.

Applicants must be able to demonstrate appropriate numerical skills.

Assessment

A combination of unseen examination, prescribing episodes and practice assessment.
