Summary
The course takes place over three semesters, leading to 60 level 7 credits and a Postgraduate Certificate Award in Non-Medical Prescribing and is validated by the NMC and HCPC.
Why choose this course? This course includes 2 modules: the first develops your physical health assessment and diagnostic skills and then the second qualifies you as an Independent and Supplementary Prescriber. The course takes place over three semesters leading to 60 level 7 credits leading to a Post Graduate Certificate Award in Non-Medical Prescribing and is validated by the NMC and HCPC.
What happens on the course? In the first semester you will undertake the module Postgraduate Credit Developing History Taking and Physical Assessment for the Adult Patient/Client (7NH035: level 7- 20 credits) and in the second and third semesters you will undertake the double module Postgraduate Credit Non-Medical Prescribing for Nurses, Midwives and Allied Health Professionals (7NH094: level 7 – 40 credits), commonly known as the V300.
The first module enhances your knowledge of identifying physical health concerns in assessment of adults which is essential within any prescribing episode and then the second module combines study of pharmacology and prescribing practice to meet the requirements for Independent and Supplementary Prescribing (V300) standards identified by the NMC and HCPC.
You will need to be a registered practitioner whose regulatory body (the NMC or HCPC) allows for annotation as an Independent and Supplementary Prescriber (V300). You should be in a role that requires prescribing, and you will need support from your employer and prescribing leads as part of the admission process.
If you have evidence of assessment and diagnostic skills (either from a previous course or from your line manager) and do not need the extra level 7 credits this would accrue, we suggest you undertake the standalone module 7NH094 Postgraduate Credit Non-Medical Prescribing for Nurses, Midwives and Allied Health Professionals
Study 7NH035 at Walsall (semester 1 and 3 starts) and then follow on with 7NH094. The course is validated by the NMC and HCPC.
