Non Medical Prescribers
The documents in this section will inform Practice Managers of the actions they need to take when a Non Medical Prescriber (NMP) joins or leaves the practice.
NMPs include nurses, midwives, pharmacists, physiotherapists, podiatrists, radiographers and optometrists who have a registered independent prescribing qualification.
The majority of NMPs currently employed in GP practices are nurses but some practices are now directly employing pharmacists and physiotherapists who have a prescribing qualification and to whom this notification also applies.
