The IP Qualification and Beyond

Are you considering the IP Qualification as your next step?

🎙In this episode, I explore this topic with Amina Ali, an experienced GP Pharmacist and independent prescriber who also guest lectures at King's College London, specializing in Older People, Frailty, and Polypharmacy. I was also joined by our co-host, Sarah Dekmak, another experienced IP pharmacist who has supported many pharmacists in their pursuit of gaining their IP qualification through our 'Find a DMP' service.

Together, we discussed undertaking the IP Qualification, what the IP course doesn't equip you with, and how to start prescribing safely. We also delved into the level of responsibility that prescribing entails, and the importance of high-quality clinical supervision and prescribing within your scope.

Additionally, Amina provides listeners with invaluable advice on the value you can add as a prescriber and how this correlates to earning potential. We also discussed the Advanced Practitioners Course and alternative courses for running minor illness clinics.

This episode is a valuable resource for any pharmacist contemplating the IP qualification and eager to learn more.
