This course will enable career progression, attendance on the course will have been supported by your Trust/ organisation and as such you are in a senior position, or working towards this, in the clinical setting. Working in partnership with the Trust/organisation to develop the curriculum has ensured that on successful completion of the course, the expectations of the Trust/ organisation’s concept of the non-medical prescriber role have been met. You will be expected to record your qualification with the regulatory body to enable you to prescribe within your practice area. You will also be expected to inform your manager and ensure that you maintain your practice by completing regular NMP updates. You could also use this qualification and credits towards an Advanced Clinical Practice MSc.

You must meet your employer’s requirements and register your qualification with the NMC or other regulatory body and this will incur a cost.
