SAFE AND SECURE HANDLING OF MEDICINES

Section 27:
Non-medical independent and supplementary prescribing

There have been a number of recent and significant developments focused around the extension of prescribing authority for non-medical staff.

These developments have been underpinned by legislative, policy and educational initiatives and are intended to provide patients with quicker and more efficient access to medicines, and to make best use of the knowledge and skills of staff. 

For all information relating to non-medical prescribing please refer to the NHS Tayside Non-Medical Prescribing Policy (NHS Tayside Staffnet intranet link only)
