Prescribers’ Guides
The Royal Pharmaceutical Society has published a competency framework endorsed by professional bodies representing prescribers. This framework can be used to help identify CPD needs and support ongoing professional development.
The Centre for Pharmacy Postgraduate Education has also produced guides to support prescribers in accessing information relevant to their prescribing role. These guides help prescribers identify their learning and development needs, update their knowledge, develop skills and gather evidence of their competence to prescribe.
