dc.description.abstractObjectives Explore the design, delivery and assessment of UK non-medical prescriber (NMP) programmes, and how they prepare prescribers for practice. This was to fill the current gap in knowledge around the specific educational approaches used to train NMPs. Methods A qualitative research design was utilised and 16 programme directors from UK NMP programmes were interviewed through the online Zoom app. Results These were organised into five major themes: taught content (pertaining to prescribing knowledge, safety, communication and continuing professional development); assessment methods of the programme; aims, objectives and goals of the programme; critical appraisals of programme leads on educational approaches and; improving the programme for future cohorts. Conclusions Consideration should be given to adapting the teaching and assessment approaches highlighted by programme leads, particularly towards more interactive, simulated and blended learning approaches.en
