External examiners are required to make use of the system during the external moderation process (this being accessible through the Virtual Learning Environment).
Experienced and new external examiners will be considered provided the applicant has the relevant professional qualification(s) and experience. Current NMC/HCPC/GPhC registration with relevant professional experience within Advanced Practice, an Independent Prescribing qualification (V300 or equivalent) and a valid teaching qualification are essential requirements for this post.
