Course Overview

The academic course team is multi-professional and made up of NMC, HCPC, and GPhC registrants, some of whom are lecturer practitioners which add to the clinical currency of the Non-Medical Prescribing course at the University of Chester.

After successful completion of the Non-Medical Prescribing course, students should register their prescribing qualification with the NMC, HCPC, or GPhC to enable them to legally prescribe within their clinical roles.
