Prescribing for Pharmacists PgCert

Do you want to advance your pharmacy career by becoming a non-medical prescriber? This programme is accredited by both the General Pharmaceutical Council and Pharmaceutical Society of Northern Ireland to train pharmacists as non-medical prescribers. Students undertake online and work-based training and assessment in addition to a 5-day clinical skills residential in January at our Clinical Skills Centre on-campus in Belfast. This programme has been developed to train pharmacists in Great Britain as non-medical prescribers. When the course is oversubscribed, priority will be given to students already enrolled on the QUB Advanced Clinical Pharmacy Practice Programme. If you are employed as a pharmacist in Northern Ireland and wish to train as a non-medical prescriber, please visit our PG Cert in Independent Prescribing. As well as the QUB administrative application process there is a separate application process based on the GPhC eligibility criteria and to obtain these forms they should contact pharmacydl@qub.ac.uk.
