Non-medical prescribing
Non-medical prescribing by podiatrists has enabled more effective use of their skills, time and outcomes, leading to improved experience and journey of their patients.
- Non-medical prescribers (NMPs) are healthcare professionals who are not medical doctors or dentists but who are legally permitted to prescribe medicines, dressings and appliances
- Podiatrists can undertake additional training to qualify as NMPs
- Prescribing enables podiatrists to make effective use of their knowledge and enables quicker access to services and medicines for patients.
