Advanced Non-Medical Prescribing (V300)

Program Overview

This blended learning program prepares registered healthcare professionals (e.g., nurses, pharmacists, physiotherapists) for independent or supplementary prescribing roles. Through a combination of online and on-campus instruction, participants develop the knowledge and skills necessary to assess patients, make clinical decisions, and prescribe medications within their scope of practice. Upon successful completion, participants may be recommended for annotation/registration with their professional body as prescribers.
