NADEX Registration

NADEX registration is now to be completed via your NCSA (National Clinical Services Accreditation ) page on your learning dashboard at www.wcppe.org.uk. Once logged in to your account click on “learning dashboard”, then “NCSA”.

You will need to complete all of the “generic skills and competencies” on NCSA, and submit the Generic Skills and Competencies submission form to provide any service. Complete and submit a DBS check. (NWSSP will contact you once you submit a declaration form on NCSA for a service where DBS is required)

Complete the NADEX listing form on your NCSA page - without this you cannot access the Choose pharmacy platform to provide services. (You will need to await confirmation of your NADEX login before you can access Choose Pharmacy to provide CAS, DMR, EMS, EC, STTT and flu.)
