In 2019, the Royal Pharmaceutical Society published a Competency Framework for Designated Prescribing Practitioners to support the implementation of regulatory changes and underpin quality in training of non-medical prescribers during the period of learning in practice. This article takes a look at the need for, development, scope and content of the framework, and considers its implementation in practice. The framework has been developed to support quality in training during the period of learning in practice. It is designed for use by a broad range of user groups across different professions and settings, as such, some contextualisation of the content is needed and there will be local variation in how it is used in practice.
