A Practical Guide to Demonstrating and Improving Nurse Prescribing Competence & Practice

Thu, 25 Apr 2024

Virtual, Online

Follow the conference on X #PrescribingCompetence

This conference will focus on Nurse Prescribing Competence and Practice and update delegates on the practicalities of using the Revised National Competency framework for all prescribers.

“The RPS framework provides the foundation for safe and effective prescribing practice for professionals on our register. Nurse and midwife prescribers can use it to inform their day to day practice, and in revalidation to identify continuing professional development needs. It is also an excellent way of fostering multi disciplinary team working by ensuring consistent standards for prescribing across all professional groups.”

Nursing and Midwifery Council

"A common set of competencies should underpin prescribing, regardless of professional background, to enable all prescribers to practise safely and effectively.  It applies equally to independent prescribers, community practitioner nurse prescribers and supplementary prescribers.” 

Regina Ahmed, RPS lead for the Competency Framework

“The requirements of the competency framework will be the standards we consider safe and effective prescribing practice for all prescribers on our register.”

Nursing and Midwifery Council 2022
