Our IP students are already seeing patients and conducting their own clinics from Day 2 or 3, which is great for the practice. This hands-on approach helps them develop clinical confidence quickly whilst becoming valued members of our healthcare team. It's a mutually beneficial arrangement that supports both their professional development and our service delivery.
Dr. Aloysius
General Practitioner DPP
It was a great experience to have this student with us. Very productive for both of us. They engaged in the training well and I hope they have gained what they intended to achieve from this engagement. It has encouraged me to take more students in the future
Kashif A
IP Pharmacist DPP
I have been a DPP for over 10 years. Training pharmacists brings me immense joy as I witness their passion and dedication to enhancing patient care. Guiding them through the intricacies of prescribing is a fulfilling endeavour, as I see them grow into competent prescribers. Witnessing their enthusiasm for learning and applying new knowledge reaffirms my commitment to their development.
Dr. Merali
General Practitioner DPP
This role has not only honed my leadership and mentoring skills but has also enriched my clinical knowledge and expertise.

P Patel
IP Pharmacist DPP
I completed my 90 hours of practice for the independent prescribing course with DPP Connect in 2023 under the guidance of my DMP. Their expertise made the journey smooth and organised, with excellent communication throughout. The mentorship provided during consultations was invaluable, aligning well with my university curriculum. I quickly transitioned from shadowing to independently conducting consultations, thanks to their thorough and constructive feedback.
