This short session has been designed for those currently undertaking the role of the Designated Prescribing Practitioner (DPP), or anyone considering becoming a DPP in the future.  

This live face-to-face or online session will be an alternative to the asynchronous training package we currently have for DPPs supporting Independent Prescribing students.

An introduction and overview, followed by a detailed review of the DPP framework and its alignment with the RPS competency framework.

A segment on identifying and supporting struggling learners with tailored strategies and an interactive discussion.

A core part focusing on supporting them in their role and exploring ways for trainees to demonstrate clinical expertise beyond patient-facing clinics, such as participating in multidisciplinary team meetings, clinical audits, and guideline development.

A concluding summary, final Q&A, and additional resources for further support.
