In addition the employing organisation are required to confirm the applicant has CRB clearance and will have access to continuing professional development opportunities on completion of the programme Have a designated medical practitioner who will provide the student with supervision, support and opportunities to develop competence in prescribing practice* Have a recent CRB check* *These have been stipulated by the Department of Health It is expected that both students and employers will provide signed documentary evidence that these requirements have been met prior to commencement of the programme. Selection process Students wishing to access the course will apply via their employers who will forward applications to the university. Students requiring entry to level M study will normally have 120 level H credits. Students wishing to access the course without this will be required to show evidence of the ability to study at level M. This may be demonstrated by: Submission of a critical analysis of their current role and how this would be enhanced through their capacity to prescribe. Or evidence of recent academic study, for example completion of a 20 credit level M unit within the past two years, Or Completion of 80 level H credits within the past three years. 8
9 7.2 ASSESSMENT The regulations for this programme conform with the requirements of the Health and Care Professions Council, and are the Standard Postgraduate Assessment Regulations with the following approved exceptions: Period of Registration The maximum period of registration a student may take to complete the programme, from the first registration, is normally 1 year. Pass Mark The pass mark for the short answer examination will be 80%( assessed on a pass/fail basis). The pass mark for the numeracy test will be 100% (assessed on a pass/ fail basis). The pass mark for the OSCE will be 100% (assessed on a pass/fail basis). The record of supervised practice is assessed on a pass/fail basis. For the portfolio a pass will be awarded where the overall element mark is at least 50%. All formal elements of assessment must be awarded a pass for candidates to pass the unit. Provision for failed candidates If a student in any element of assessment fails to answer correctly any question that may result in direct harm to a patient/client or within written submissions within the portfolio recommends treatment which may result in direct harm to a patient/client, the student will fail that element of the programme. If this occurs where a student is being reassessed, the student will be required to re-register and to re-attend the programme. Attendance The Health and Care Professions Council require 100% attendance: the programme team maintain a register. Students who miss one day of the programme are required to undertake work to demonstrate they have met the learning outcomes for the sessions they have missed. Students who miss two days will also have to undertake work to meet the learning outcomes and may be required to attend the sessions they have missed; this may be at a different campus according to when the programme is delivered. Students who miss three days will be required to discuss with the programme leader and their manager their withdrawal or deferment from the programme. 9

13 Competencies for Prescribing The competencies for prescribing are laid out in the appendix. Relationship between course outcomes and Prescribing Competencies The learning outcomes of the programme relate to the prescribing competencies as follows: Learning outcome 1 Practice Learning outcome 2 and 9 Practice Learning outcome 3 Principles Learning outcome 4 Principles Learning outcome 5 Practice Learning outcome 6 Responsibility Learning outcome 7 Subsumes all the competencies Learning outcome 8 Principles and practice Learning Outcome 9 Practice Learning Outcome 10 - Subsumes all the competencies LEARNING & TEACHING METHODS The taught indicative content will normally be delivered over 26 days plus 12 days of supervised clinical practice, or via a blended learning route of 8 days taught content, 10 days open learning and 12 days supervised clinical practice. Attendance for the taught days is mandatory. Learning and teaching will take place in both the classroom and in practice. Lectures of factual material will be followed by question and answer sessions including group discussion and analysis of case examples. Lectures will be shared with students undertaking the Independent and Supplementary Prescribing Programme for Nurses and Midwives. A medical practitioner (DMP) will assess prescribing competence by practice supervision. Students will be expected to shadow their DMP and critically reflect upon patient care scenarios, demonstrating in-depth analysis of prescribing behaviour. To facilitate learning the student will be required to maintain a portfolio that will be structured around practice based competencies. Successful completion of the portfolio will include evidence of supervised practice and will be summatively assessed. All students will have a personal tutor from the University and the support of a DMP as a supervisor in practice. In addition action learning groups will provide the opportunity for student to discuss issues arising from their burgeoning role. Supervisor workshops are planned to appraise DMPs of the learning outcomes expected from the programme and their responsibilities. Telephone consultation and support for the student and DMP will be used when necessary. Students understanding of the content and application of knowledge for prescribing behaviour along with the associated decision-making skills will be tested by means of a written examination and a portfolio. Competency in the strategies for undertaking a prescribing consultation, notably those related to communicating with patients and generating treatment options, will be assured through a final OSCE. 13
14 ASSESSMENT Summative Assessment Total assessment workload will not exceed the equivalent of 10,000 words The learning outcomes of the programme will be assessed as follows: 1. Learning outcomes 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 examination (two hours equivalent to 2,000 words)(pass mark 80% - assessed on a pass/fail basis) 2. Learning outcome 9 in course numeracy test (30 minutes equivalent to 500 words) (pass mark 100% - assessed on a pass/fail basis) 3. Learning outcomes 1, 2 - OSCE (equivalent to 2,000 words)(pass mark 100% - assessed on pass/fail basis) 4. Learning outcomes 1-10 successful completion of practice experience and attainment of practice outcomes (assessed on a pass/fail basis) 5. Learning outcomes Practice portfolio (5,500 word equivalency) (pass mark 50%) (100% weighting for unit) Indicative Assessment 1. A written examination consisting of 20 short answer/ multi-choice questions. The examination tests pharmacological knowledge and its application to practice. The pass mark for the examination is 80% 2. A numerical assessment within the context of prescribing practice. Linked to learning outcome 12. The pass mark for the numeracy assessment is 100% 3. An Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) which takes place in a setting relevant to the students area/field of practice. The OSCE will consist of two parts to test students initial and follow-up prescribing behavior. Students will be required to respond to a patient presenting with a problem relating to their field of practice. Students will be expected to articulate their potential prescribing practice in relation to this patient, following taking a patient history, a physical examination and reaching a diagnosis. Students are also expected to discuss any required follow up. This examination is assessed on a pass fail basis. It is expected that the DMP will be present during the OSCE examination together with a member of the teaching staff. However if this is not possible then the examination will be audio recorded with written consent gained by the patient. 4. Satisfactory completion of the period of practice experience and the sign off by the designated medical practitioner and the employer that the student is competent to prescribe medicines in their area of practice. This is recorded in the practice profile and is assessed on a pass/fail basis. 5. A portfolio that demonstrates application of theory to practice, and provides rationale for prescribing decisions and reflective practice. The portfolio provides the evidence of attainment of the practice based standards. It will also include evidence of numeracy skills, writing prescriptions and a range of scenarios. Linked to learning outcomes The pass mark for the portfolio is 50% 14
