Presentación

In the fast-changing world of therapeutics, prescribing and health care provision, prescribers, or those providing prescribing advice, may feel under-equipped to meet Department of Health demands and the challenges that have emerged from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). A key development for pharmacists has been the advent of independent pharmacist prescribers, new roles in medicines optimisation and supporting the management of long term conditions. Pharmacists are continually being asked to broaden their role and contribution within primary healthcare. In addition, the requirements for pharmacists to demonstrate their commitment to continual professional development is as strong as ever and is reflected in the recent General Pharmaceutical Council’s announcements regarding the assurance of the continual fitness to practice of pharmacists. Other healthcare professionals have similar requirements in relation to CPD and revalidation.

Objetivos

The overall aim of the Prescribing Studies programme is to offer the opportunity for prescribers (medical and non-medical) and those providing prescribing advice to enhance their knowledge base, skills and understanding of practical therapeutics and prescribing within the context of the larger health care team.

Programa

The Prescribing Studies Programme can be completed via the following flexible pathways to accumulate academic credits at Masters Level with fixed content and learning outcomes:

•CPD Plus+ – register for individual short courses of 5 credits. You can register on a number of occasions in any academic year. Completing 12 CPD Plus+ courses will provide the postgraduate certificate award
•CPD Plus+ Open Learn – provides opportunity to negotiate some or all of the content and learning outcomes to meet your specific needs (available as 10, 15 and 30-credit modules)
•Certificate in Prescribing Studies – register for a full academic year for the postgraduate Certificate award (60 credits)
•Diploma in Prescribing Studies – register for 2 academic years for the postgraduate Diploma award (120 credits)
•Qualifying Course for Independent Prescribers (60 credits) – this provides the professional qualification necessary to prescribe, and an academic award of Certificate in Prescribing Studies (Independent Prescribing). It may also be used to carry 60 academic credits towards the Diploma course. Please contact the Course Administrator for the specific application pack for this course
•Professional MSc – Building on the Diploma course students study a further three modules: Research Methods (15 credits), Advanced Practice Development (15 credits) and Independent Learning Project (30 credits)
