The practice assessor would normally be a medical doctor.

AHPs are required to have a designated prescribing practitioner (DPP) in practice who facilitates 12 days (90) hrs learning in practice. This time can also be spent with experienced pharmacists and NMPs while retaining the DPP as the key assessor.

All practice supervisors and practice assessors will be invited to an introduction to programme, to develop an understanding of the programme, the programme outcomes, their role as a practice supervisor and/or practice assessor, and to support them in practice. This will also be an opportunity to engage with other practice supervisors and practice assessors and share experiences. For those who are unable to attend there will be access to Blackboard for information, and a recording of the introduction session available.
