Course Details

Independent and supplementary prescribing is a key area of practice for pharmacists, requiring a broad understanding of the pharmacy discipline and proven skills in practice. Pharmacists need to practice safely and effectively, which calls for knowledge of clinical pharmacology, governance, professional accountability and legal, policy and ethical aspects. The University of Bolton's Non-Medical Independent and Supplementary Prescribing for Pharmacists professional development course allows you to study all these areas and other key concepts.

The course will offer plenty of opportunities to put your knowledge into practice. Our medical professionals will guide you as you learn to apply your skills in a clinical setting, offering guidance and feedback to support your development. You can also expect to build skills like planning, teamwork, cooperation, critical thinking and rational decision-making. By critiquing and applying sources of information and keeping abreast of current developments in industry and policy, you'll have the chance to progress in your career in line with changes in the sector.
