Community Practitioner Nurse Prescribing (V100) Level 7

This course is for Specialist Community Practitioner Nurses (who have previously undertaken a Community Specialist Practice Course). On successful completion you will be able to prescribe from the Nurse Prescribers' Formulary for Community Practitioners.

Are you a nurse with a specialist community practitioner qualification? Successfully completing this course will qualify you to prescribe from the Nurse Prescribers' Formulary for Community Practitioners, and to be registered accordingly with the Nursing and Midwifery Council.

Our Community Practitioner Nurse Prescribing course is delivered alongside the Specialist Community Public Health Nurse course for health visitor and school nurse students, plus those students on a district nursing pathway. This integrated approach enables you to gain a great deal of knowledge and information from the wider arena supplied by students studying in practice across the counties.

There are 4 full days of face-to-face teaching, covering the 3 domains of the single-competency framework for all prescribers (as identified by the National Prescribing Centre). You will need the agreed support, in advance, of a practising supervisor who is also a registered prescriber for this formulary. Although attendance to the 4 days is essential, we also have a contemporary Virtual Learning Environment and face to face workshop’s to augment the learning. This gives a wider experience on working through case scenarios and clinical decision making, moving into Minor Illnesses.

Assessment
You will submit coursework, sit an exam and have your competence assessed over 25 hours. This is in accordance with the NMC standards for prescribing for nurses and midwives (2006).
