Postgraduate Courses and Programmes - Certificate Awards

Here is a complete list of postgraduate certificate award programmes you can take:

Pharmacy (Community Programme)
Developed especially for pharmacists who are working in the community or primary care. This programme can include accreditation for Medicines Use Review.

Pharmacy (Clinical, Hospital-Based Programme)
Developed especially for pharmacists who are working in secondary care.

Prescribing Studies Programme
This Certificate/Diploma programme has been developed for health professionals with independent and supplementary prescribing rights, including doctors, nurses, pharmacists and allied health professionals. It is also suitable for pharmacists whose role is to provide prescribing advice in primary care. Other healthcare professionals may be considered and should contact the Course Administrator Linda Foster in the first instance.

Prescribing Studies (Independent Prescribing)
We are delighted that our full Independent Prescribing course was accredited by the RPSGB in September 2007. Click on the link above for more information about the course. This replaced our previous Supplementary Prescribing Course and the IP Conversion Course.

We are very proud that the Department of Medicines Management was the first education provider in the UK to have its course for preparing pharmacists as supplementary prescribers accredited by the RPSGB (in June 2003). We were also among the first to provide an Independent Prescribing (IP) Conversion Course and a Keele graduate was the first pharmacist to qualify as an independent pharmacist prescriber in the UK in January 2007.

Our preparatory course for pharmacist independent prescribers is an integral part of our Postgraduate Certificate/Diploma programme in Prescribing Studies.
