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. Begin your revision from Module 1.
Some of the teaching provided in this module is based on the Drug Calculations Module by Coventry & Warwick Foundation School (link)
