May 1, 2009 by admin
The National Prescribing Centre (NPC) has launched a new programme to support non-medical prescribing (NMP).
The Department of Health has commissioned it to ‘assist in promoting and supporting the continued development of NMP, within prescribers’ competencies, through effective policy implementation, advice and promotion’, explains the NPC, which says it aims to increase recognition and understanding of NMP by better communications and to provide a resource of knowledge, information and advice.
