This case study refers to a consultation I undertook in the radiotherapy department, supervised by my practice educator during my non-medical prescribing qualification. The qualification entails the completion of an approved MSc module, which, for me, included 80 hours of educationally led prescribing practice supervision, the successful completion of numeracy and pharmacology exams, submission of a learning log of prescribing evidence, including reflections on practice, and a personal drug formulary. This case study has allowed me to reflect on my own prescribing practice, seek feedback from colleagues and service users, and consider potential improvements to my practice.
