Prescribing webinar series: Assessing yourself as a prescriber – tools, frameworks and real-world insights

Join us for an interactive and practical webinar that will guide you through using the prescribing competency framework and insight on how to reflect on your prescribing practice.

Published: 26 September 2025

This webinar was published when the organisation was the Royal Pharmaceutical Society.

Whether you’re newly qualified, returning to prescribing, or looking to progress further, this session helps you understand your strengths, identify development areas, and build a clear plan for growth.

We hear from experienced pharmacist prescribers who share practical examples, reflective strategies, and tips to help you assess your competence and plan your next steps with confidence.

We also show how this reflective practice supports your  e-Portfolio and connects directly to our credentialing pathways, helping you evidence your development and work toward advanced levels of prescribing practice.

Learning objectives:

  • Apply the prescribing competency framework to assess and map your current prescribing practice.
  • Identify your own strengths and gaps in prescribing competence.
  • Evaluate strategies used by experienced prescribing pharmacists to maintain competence and stay clinically up to date – and them to your own practice.

Presented by Sara Visram, Thursday 18 September 2025.

Speakers:

  • William Swain, Associate Director for Clinical Education and Programme Lead for Clinically Enhanced Independent. Prescribing (CEPIP) at UCL School of Pharmacy.
  • Regina Ahmed, Guidance Manager at RPS.
  • Sara Visram – Professional Development Pharmacist.
