The 18-week module begins with a one-week initial block followed by attendance once a week for 13 weeks, then a final block week of study via hybrid teaching including online learning and some face to face contact via seminars. You are taught alongside students studying at level 6 and 7. You spend 10 negotiated days in supervised supernumerary practice with a NMP practice assessor (PA) who acts as your practice assessor. You should also spend time with other medical and non-medical prescribers; practice learning and assessment must be undertaken between weeks 2 and 17. To facilitate the integration of theory and practice these practice days should span the entirety of the module.
