About
Understanding and applying security rights within EPMA systems is essential for ensuring legal, safe, and efficient digital prescribing and medicines administration. This learning program explores the fundamental principles of role-based access in Electronic Patient Records (EPR), the legal responsibilities of different healthcare professionals, and the security safeguards required to support compliant digital practice.

You’ll explore real-world case examples, learn how role profiles are assigned and maintained in modern EPMA systems, and discover the legal frameworks that underpin prescribing and administration rights across the UK. This course is essential for pharmacy informatics professionals, digital leads, EPMA teams, clinical safety officers, and clinical staff who use EPR systems daily. Whether you’re configuring user roles or navigating access permissions in practice, this course will give you the clarity and confidence you need. By the end of this program, you will: - Understand legal frameworks relevant to prescribing, administration, and access to records - Know how to interpret and design role-based access structures in EPMA - Be aware of the consequences of misconfigured access - Be equipped to support safer, more legally compliant digital practice
