Competency framework for all prescribers

The Royal Pharmaceutical Society in collaboration with NICE has published A competency framework for all prescribers.  This updated framework can be used by any prescriber at any point in their career to underpin professional responsibility for prescribing. It can also be used by regulators, education providers, professional organisations and specialist groups to inform standards, the development of education, and to inform guidance and advice. It outlines ten key prescribing competencies under two areas: the consultation, and prescribing governance. Within these areas, statements describe the activity or outcomes prescribers should be able to demonstrate.
