| Sumario: | Multidisciplinary working/prescribing as part of a team is a key competence within the Royal Pharmaceutical Society (2021) prescribing competency framework. Interprofessional learning within an academic setting can improve multidisciplinary working within clinical practice. This article aims to demonstrate that Interprofessional learning can be successfully introduced into a non-medical prescribing module which has the potential to improve clinical practice. The authors outline the professional academic experiences of prescribers and make future recommendations. Discussion points included: interprofessional learning within an academic setting can improve multidisciplinary working within clinical practice, why multidisciplinary working is important to prescribing practice, how the benefit of Interprofessional within a non-medical prescribing module has not previously been explored, how Interprofessional can be introduced into a non-medical prescribing module and how benefits could be wide ranging. Interprofessional learning within a non-medical prescribing module is a useful approach with wide-ranging benefits, however, further research in this area is required.
