A quick guide for commissioners
March 2010
During 2009 we developed a “Quick guide” to non-medical prescribing for managers and commissioners, with the aim of providing a national resource that supports organisations to effectively embed non-medical prescribing (NMP) into service redesign. Following the rapid succession of changes in legislation, the aim is to increase understanding of the changes to NMP regulations that have extended the scope and range of NMP.
The guide puts NMP and other medicines supply mechanisms into context and acts as a reference source for those considering medicines supply mechanisms, within service delivery and redesign. A feature of this guide shares examples of NMP in a variety of patient care pathways and local processes to manage and support NMP implementation.
