Overview
Please note that our Non-Medical Prescribing Programme is extremely popular. Due to high demand, we are unable to guarantee that applicants will be given their chosen intake. Places are only guaranteed at the time of offer.
The University of Northampton offers this 40-credit non-medical prescribing course which will enable autonomous nurse/midwife practitioners and AHPs to demonstrate safe prescribing practice within their own scope of practice. On successful completion practitioners will gain academic accreditation and advanced skills required to prescribe safely in line with current professional regulation and thus will be eligible to record the qualification Independent & Supplementary Prescriber with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and the HCPC.
This is a professional qualification (V300 prescribing course) and can be undertaken as a stand-alone module or as part of a package of modules which together can build to an MSc Advanced Clinical Practice or MSc Advancing Practice.
Highlights
