DESIGNATED PRESCRIBING PRACTITIONER COMPETENCY FRAMEWORK

Regulatory changes in 2019 mean that experienced non-medical prescribers of any
professional background can become responsible for a trainee prescriber's period
of learning in practice similarly to Designated Medical Practitioners (DMP).

To help train safe and effective independent prescribers we've worked with
multi-disciplinary experts to develop and publish a competency framework for
Designated Prescribing Practitioners (DPP).

This new framework will help universities running independent prescribing
programmes, NHS trusts and boards with independent prescribers, trainee
independent prescribers and experienced independent prescribers to understand
the expectations for a DPP through standardised competency descriptors.

First Published: 03 December 2019

A review of the DPP Competency Framework is scheduled to start in 2024

STATEMENT OF FUNDING

This framework has been co-funded by the RPS and a grant from Health Education
England.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


CONSENSUS STATEMENT

The project steering group used a consensus process to agree the final
prescribing framework. Consensus was achieved.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


ENDORSEMENTS

The competency framework has been endorsed by professional bodies representing
other prescribers (some endorsement applications are still in progress).
