Fees & Funding
How much does the service cost?+
Our service fee reflects the coordination, placement support, and supervision structure required to secure and organise a suitable Designated Prescribing Practitioner placement. Because DPP availability, location, and clinical setting can vary, the overall cost may differ between clinicians. Our service fees start from £1,800. The final fee may vary depending on placement location, DPP availability, clinical setting, intended prescribing scope and university requirements. Full details are provided during the application and onboarding process so clinicians can make a decision with clarity.
How do you keep the service affordable?+
We recognise that securing appropriate supervision for Independent Prescribing training can sometimes be financially challenging. Our service is designed to make access to suitable DPP supervision more structured and as affordable as possible while maintaining professional standards. By coordinating placements and working with experienced supervisors across different settings, we aim to provide clinicians with a transparent and supportive pathway into supervised prescribing practice.
Is a deposit required?+
A £500 initial payment is required to confirm and reserve a DPP placement once a suitable supervisor has been identified. The remaining balance is arranged once the placement details and supervision schedule have been confirmed.
Refund policy+
If you do not secure a university place, you may request a refund of payments made minus a £99 administrative fee.
