Home Pharmacist MUR Accreditation
Any Higher Education Institution (HEI) can provide training and competency assessments for the MUR service. A national competency framework is used as the basis for these assessments.
There are a number of providers who run courses and/or competency assessments. Additionally some academic institutions that provide post-graduate clinical programmes, such as diplomas, have ensured their courses develop and test the skills of students in order to meet the requirements of the MUR competencies.
For those pharmacists who have existing skills in this area of practice, the completion of any course prior to undertaking a competency assessment is not obligatory, i.e. pharmacists may put themselves through a competency assessment whenever they feel fit to do so.
