Problem
Healthcare professionals seeking independent prescribing qualifications must complete a mandatory 90-hour shadowing period under a Designated Prescribing Practitioner (DPP), yet finding an available and suitable DPP is often difficult. This bottleneck delays career progression and limits the number of prescribers able to serve patients, particularly in regions with fewer practitioners.
Solution
FindMyDPP provides a nationwide matching service that connects eligible healthcare professionals with vetted DPPs across the UK. Users register online and are guided through the university application process, with the company completing the necessary forms using the chosen DPP's details. Once the first payment is made, the completed form is provided for submission. FindMyDPP then creates a mutually convenient timetable for the 90-hour shadowing period, coordinating schedules between the professional and the DPP. Upon successful completion, the DPP provides the required sign-off for independent prescribing, with the final payment taken at the start of this stage.
Target Audience
Primary customers are UK-based healthcare professionals—including nurses, pharmacists, physiotherapists, and paramedics—who require a DPP to complete their independent prescribing qualification and are seeking a streamlined matching and coordination service.
