Overview

Prescribing by non-medical practitioners has expanded and become embedded in health and care systems. Since its introduction, the qualification has facilitated the development of new roles for nurses, midwives, and eligible allied health professionals, which benefit both service delivery and service users. For practitioners, it offers the opportunity to develop genuine autonomy in a range of interesting and varied roles. It will also allow you to work with appropriate prescribers in a supplementary prescribing arrangement, prescribing medicines that form part of an identified/agreed Clinical Management Plan (CMP). You can either undertake the programme as a standalone qualification or as part of our MSc in Advanced Clinical Practice. On successful completion of study, we will issue the following award: Individual Modules Independent/Supplementary Prescribing for Allied Health Professionals L7
