Student Profiles
Health visitor and mum Patricia Stewart completed the Postgraduate Certificate in Supplementary Prescribing and Extended Independent Prescribing courses last year to enable her to treat a range of conditions especially dermatological treatments for children. She said:
I enjoy distance learning because I can set the pace and achieve a balance between work, study and family commitments.
The course materials were very user friendly and set at a manageable and appropriate level. The tutors were very friendly and helpful both personally and by email.
I did not look forward to the OSCE but it went well despite my anxiety. Undoubtedly the course has opened up my mind to expanding my professional role and given me the confidence to develop services within my area of practice.
