Non Medical Prescribing Study Days
Our Non-Medical Prescribing Study Day generally takes place between March-May each year and, due to popular demand, we’ve added a Paediatric Study Day to our schedule with more ideas in the pipeline!
As you’ll see from the broad range of presentations below, the guest speakers we invite are from different backgrounds with our aim being that the subjects they cover are relevant, engaging and interesting and that they can benefit you in your careers. Principles and standards in prescribing are applicable across the board, whatever your professional and clinical background
We also welcome ideas of topics you would like to hear about so if you do have any ideas, please contact us.
A certificate of attendance is provided and may count towards your professional CPD portfolio. These are sent out a couple of weeks after the event
We deliver our future Study Days virtually. Whilst we miss our face to face events, moving to a virtual offering has meant that we’ve opened up these events to a much wider audience from across the UK and internationally. Delivering events that are inclusive and accessible is important to us and hosting our study days on Zoom means several hundred people with busy schedules are now able to be part of them. We can get through more questions, secure speakers from further afield, more people can attend and we’ve reduced the ticket cost too! We’ll keep you posted about future events as dates & speakers are organised and we hope you’ll continue to join us!
