Consultation on changes to requirements for training as a pharmacist independent prescriber

We consulted on changes which will enable more pharmacists to begin their independent prescriber training.



We consulted on:

  • removing the requirements for registered pharmacists to have two years of clinical practice, before they can enroll on an accredited independent prescribing course
  • removing the requirement to have relevant experience in a specific clinical or therapeutic area, before they can enroll on an accredited independent prescribing course
  • retaining the requirement that course participants must identify an area of clinical or therapeutic practice to focus on during the course
