Programme Overview<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The Collaborative Practitioners Prescribing Programme (CP3) prepares APNs and pharmacists to prescribe under a Collaborative Practice Agreement with a medical practitioner(s). Collaborative prescribing involves assessing the patient, considering treatment options, reaching a shared decision, prescribing, providing patient education, monitoring and reviewing of the patient. Through this programme, the individual will acquire skills and competencies in history taking, data interpretation, diagnostic formulation, physical examination, clinical decision making, applied therapeutics, psychosocial aspects of prescribing, collaboration with multidisciplinary team, effective communication and documentation.<\/p>\n

The programme is designed to build on the basic skills already acquired in the APNs’ and pharmacists’ training. The core components comprise of areas involving safe and professional prescribing, as well as improving prescribing practice and prescribing as part of a team. The core competencies required include inter-professional collaboration, understanding prescribing systems, and professional and ethical considerations of prescribing. Based on differences in baseline skillsets of APNs and pharmacists, a portion of the curriculum is conducted separately to strengthen areas requiring further skills development in the two professions to perform collaborative prescribing<\/p>\n
