Students may only access this module as part of the MSc ACP and must have already completed a 40-credit (V300) prescribing module at level 11.
Students not on the MSc advanced clinical practice pathway who wish to access this module must have an understanding of anatomy and physiology and be in a role which can be related to pharmacology and prescribing (eg. AHP, bioscientist, etc).:

This module offers the opportunity for students already in possession of a V300 prescribing qualification to gain 40-credits aligned with prescribing to meet the requirements of the MSc/PGDip in advanced clinical practice. In addition this module may offer AHP not on the MSc/PGDip in advanced clinical practice, but who would benefit from a knowledge of pharmacology without acting as a prescriber an opportunity to develop their clinical knowledge.
This module will only be available to those students who are registered ISP and who require a 40-credit module within the MSc ACP programme and AHP who are not on the programme.
This module offers the opportunity to revisit pharmacology and prescribing related issues as a registered prescriber. You will be offered a choice of assessments which offer the opportunity to undertake an piece of work that is relative to and reflective of your clinical practice.
