It would be beneficial to have the essential qualifications however applicants not in possession of the Independent Non-Medical Prescribing and/or Consultation and Health Assessment modules may apply. However, this would be in line with annex 21 of Agenda for Change and commence the role as a Band 6 until the successful completion of modules and then a transition to Band 7 will take place.
