Stan Chapman

Stan Chapman serves as a Senior Lecturer in Post Graduate Nursing and Allied Health at Wrexham University, concurrently maintaining clinical practice as an Advanced Clinical Practitioner (since 2015) and non-medical prescriber (since 2006) with 22 years of experience spanning prehospital, community, hospital, and urgent care settings.

His educational trajectory includes partial completion of a Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education (PGCHE) that catalyzed his academic career, and a recent Postgraduate Certificate in Acute Medicine and Urgent Care. Dissertation research focused on body weight support applications in stroke rehabilitation and fall prevention strategies for elderly populations.

Chapman's research synthesizes clinical practice with academic inquiry, emphasizing non-medical prescribing frameworks, comprehensive geriatric assessment protocols, and the dual pharmacological/psychosocial impacts of inappropriate opioid use. His work directly informs deprescribing initiatives and urgent care optimization through evidence-based clinical assessment methodologies.

Professional contributions include developing patient group directions for allied health professionals at Barnet PCT, medicines management committee service for prescribing analytics and governance, and educational leadership in training cohorts of non-medical prescribers. His concurrent clinical-academic role bridges hospital emergency departments, frailty services, and academic instruction in diagnostic reasoning.
