Patient and carer leaflet 'Who's who guide to prescribing'
Non-medical prescribing, or medicines prescribing by professions other than doctors or dentists, is more developed in the UK than in any other country. Our research shows that public awareness about non-medical prescribing is patchy and there are few patient-facing resources available. This leaflet, developed in 2024, provides general information onwhich professional groups can prescribe medicines in the UK. It is intended as a patient or carer-facing leaflet. It has been co-designed by healthcare professionals, researchersand members of the public as part of the TRaDiP research project (NIHR award PR-R19-0617-21001). The intention is that this leaflet will be used by NHS providers to support patient understanding about non-medical prescribing.
