Our colleagues at NES are keen to support individuals develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to undertake the role of designated prescribing practitioner. In doing so, NES have recently developed a DPP Competency Framework Self-Assessment Tool which may be useful to those considering their suitability for the role.

Our colleagues at NHS Education for Scotland have launched the first of a series of podcasts to support Designated Prescribing Practitioners.

On today's episode… NHS Pharmacy First (Scotland) Service Guidance & Flowchart, the Independent Prescribers Period of Learning in Practice and Designated Prescribing Practitioner Survey and the CPS Communications Survey for 2024.

Calling all community pharmacy independent prescribers – We Need You!
