The Prescribing Skills Modules form an 8 part series:-

1) Prescribing

2) Prescription Review

3) Planning Management

4) Communicating Information

5) Calculation Skills

6) Adverse Drug Reactions

7) Drug Monitoring

8) Data Interpretation

The Prescribing Skills Assessment (PSA), a test of prescribing competence, will be mandatory for final year medical students nationally from the 2012-13 academic year onwards.

We hope that the Prescribing Skills modules will help you with preparing for the assessments.
