The PG Dip Specialist Nursing Practice with Integrated Independent and Supplementary Prescribing (V300) is aligned to the Nursing and Midwifery Council’s Standards for prescribing programmes standards (NMC 2023b) and the Royal Pharmaceutical Society Competency Framework for all Prescribers (2021). The course will have two strands:-• Community Specialist Practice Qualification (strand 1)• Specialist Nurse (non-community) (strand 2). This programme aims to provide students with the knowledge, critical understanding, skills, values and resilience to manage clinical complexity and risk, be autonomous practitioners and work across organisational boundaries. The programme embodies a person-centred approach to meet and lead the care needs of individuals, families and communities with a range of needs and from varying backgrounds and ethnicities. The integration of Independent and Supplementary prescribing into these community nursing specialist practice/ specialist nursing courses is forward thinking as it enables this group of healthcare professionals not only to prescribe, but also assess and use a wide variety of higher-level skills and reflects the effectiveness of this role in the context of a growing demand for specialist nurses and independent and supplementary prescribers in response to changes in workforce and people who use service representative demographics.
Applicants to postgraduate diploma in specialist nursing practice with integrated independent and supplementary prescribing (v300) must provide evidence of the following criteria: Registered nurse (level 1) on the live NMC Register; BSc Hons/ BSc degree or successful completion of academic study at level 6; Registered with the NMC for a minimum of one year prior to application for entry on to the programme.
