Why Non-medical Prescribing network?

This ECHO network aims to bring together a community of practice for participants, from different clinical backgrounds, who are working towards similar goals in patient care initially within the context of palliative and supportive care with the aim of enhancing prescribing practice. This popular ECHO programme has been running for around two years now and keeps growing from strength to strength. You can read the UHI evaluation here.

Who is it for?

The ECHO network is likely to particularly appeal to new prescribers of any discipline or those undertaking a prescribing qualification. The course is also aimed towards UHI students whose studies are relevant to non-medical prescribing.

Full details for the programme will be given shortly and the registration form will be opened up at that point too. The current programme is preliminary and is subject to change.
