INDEPENDENT PRESCRIBER OF THE YEAR
ENTRY CAN BE BY NOMINATION OR BY PERSONAL APPLICATION
Being an independent prescriber allows pharmacists to prescribe medicines within their areas of competence. This Award aims to reward the pharmacist for enhancing the level of care they provide and the ability to make professionally autonomous decisions while working in collaboration with nurses, GPs and others.
The pharmacist must demonstrate first and foremost that they are patient facing in their role, and are included in both the decisions and governance of practice prescribing to improve patient care. Pharmacist input could be sessional or full time, and could be achieved with both generalist and specialist input using primary, community or secondary care pharmacists working in/with the practice, according to local needs.
WHO CAN ENTER?
This category is open to all pharmacists who hold a Practice Certificate in Independent Prescribing working within community, GP or hospital.
GENERAL AWARDS CRITERIA:
• Must provide evidence of communication with patient and monitoring; communication with others and record keeping as matter of course
• Demonstrate improved patient care • Provide evidence of adherence to accountability and competence
JUDGES WILL BE LOOKING FOR:
• Those who can demonstrate improved patient care via communication and monitoring
• A keen desire to deliver services that meet local needs • A clear focus on collaborative working with other health professions
