What makes Independent and Supplementary Prescribing at Worcester special?
The Independent and Supplementary prescribing course at Worcester gives you the knowledge and skills to improve patients’ experiences by enabling timely and prompt access to treatment and medication.

Prescribing courses at Worcester are accredited by the NMC and HCPC and are suitable for Nurses and Allied Health Professionals who meet the professional requirement to independently and supplementary prescribe from the BNF, BNF(C) and the NPF.
