UEA has been at the forefront of pharmacist postregistration training for more than a decade.
Renowned for innovative, timely educational responses to NHS workforce challenges, our training programmes are fit for contemporary practitioners providing an autonomous pharmaceutical care service in all patient-related settings. Tailored to the requirements of clinically experienced pharmacists, our Independent Prescribing course will support you to become a competent prescriber.
How it works
This is a six-month, part-time course, with two intakes per year – March and September.
Each intake group completes the same core module in its four month study period, worth a total of 40 credits. The majority of the course is taught online.
This means that we can accommodate a diverse range of clinical specialities and working arrangements.
Our two face-to-face sessions are held at both Harlow and at UEA in Norwich to increase accessibility and reach.
Working with a Designated Prescribing Practitioner (DPP), you will identify the key skills in examination and diagnostics required for you to perform in a prescribing role, and to pursue competency in these areas.
