“The accreditation team commended the provider on the thoroughly considered approach to the course [Independent Prescribing course] structure and delivery.” (Royal Pharmaceutical Society)

The standard of teaching and assessment is high and feedback from students is good…I am particularly impressed by how caring the course team are towards students and by the thoughtful way in which student effort is approached”.

“The most important thing I have learnt from the course [Independent Prescribing] is that prescribing is about more than just putting pen to paper to write a prescription! Where the Independent Prescribing Course comes into play is really in making you think where your roles and responsibilities lie as a prescriber.  It has made me change my mind set about prescribing.  I can now see that I don’t just take responsibility for the safe prescribing of a drug but also for the overall management of the patient I prescribe for.  It is me who will need to ensure safe monitoring and follow up of the patient or referral as necessary and so I can now see that the whole process of prescribing is much more involved than I did six months ago”.
