The NPC has been actively involved in the development of the non-medical prescribing agenda since the roll-out of prescribing by district nurses and health visitors. This involvement includes supporting the initial training and continuing professional development of extended and supplementary prescribers.

This section contains a range of NPC publications relating to non-medical prescribing plus information about other NPC activities specifically tailored to the needs of non-medical prescribers themselves.
