This course is designed to provide a sound underpinning knowledge base in relation to pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics, building on students pre-existing knowledge and skills to develop their consultation ability and style.
There is a focus on applied therapeutic interventions which are essential for safe, competent prescribing. Additionally, through this course, students will develop an understanding of legal, ethical, and professional perspectives to inform their future prescribing practice.
The course will also seek to develop students ability to evaluate evidence-based practice and shared decision make to ensure safe, meaningful, and concordant relationships with patients and carers.

Designed to meet the needs of experienced practicioners
This course takes a blended learning approach where content is delivered through lectures, seminars, and online workshops. You will also be supported through the Virtual Learning Environment where you can access materials.
As part of the course you will be expected to conduct independent learning based on your own needs.
A central part of the course is learning in practice where you will be supervised in a clinical setting. This will enable you to build a portfolio of practice learning to demonstrate achievement of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society competency framework.
Assessment takes place through in-class tests, a portfolio of evidence which demonstrates 90 hours of supervision in practice, and a presentation with viva on a specific prescribing decision.
From short courses and microcredentials, to professional development modules and fully online Master’s degrees, we offer a range of flexible programmes to suit your individual needs. Our suite of programmes uses a variety of delivery methods, including online-only, face-to-face, blended, and distance-learning approaches.
