April 29, 2010 by admin
‘Non-medical prescribing by nurses, optometrists, pharmacists, physiotherapists, podiatrists and radiographers. A quick guide for commissioners’ has been published by the National Prescribing Centre (NPC) to support organisations in effectively implementing non-medical prescribing. It points out that non-medical prescribing is part of a bigger picture of ongoing NHS reform and making best use of finite resources. The guide contains lots of examples of how non-medical prescribing has been used.
