Interactive large group teaching for final-year medical students; a method to prepare students for the Prescribing Safety Assessment and beyond.

Prescribing is a key skill for medical students to learn. All final-year students must now undertake the Prescribing Safety Assessment (PSA) prior to being able to graduate and begin work as a foundation doctor within the UK. The aim of our study was to create an interactive and practical prescribing skills teaching session which would equip students with the tools they need to prescribe both for their PSA and for their future practice as junior doctors.
