The National Prescribing Curriculum (NPC)

A series of case-based modules which mirror the decision-making process outlined in the World Health Organisation Guide to Good Prescribing.

The NPC modules are currently used in most Australian medical schools and several pharmacy, dental, and nurse practitioner schools.

All 24 modules are free of charge and the NPS e-learning team supports learners with any IT issues they may experience.
