Independent Prescribing Courses 2024-25
Wednesday 7th August 2024
Applications are now open for Independent Prescribing (IP) courses for pharmacists in 2024/25. Courses are available until the end of March 2025, with several universities offering multiple dates for cohort intakes. Start dates, course length and number of face-to-face days required will depend on the university provider. Community pharmacists, including locums, that meet the eligibility criteria can apply for NHS funded places at universities listed here.
Candidates will need to demonstrate that they have (as a minimum):
- The support of an identified designated prescribing practitioner (DPP).
- An appropriate practice-based learning environment in a prescribing setting that can offer appropriate clinical support.
- Evidence they meet the course provider eligibility criteria (applicants will be subject to their chosen university’s enrolment processes).
- Commitment to use the skill within their area of competence and expertise, for the delivery of NHS clinical services as they emerge.
