| Annotation | Non-medical prescribing (NMP) relates to any prescribing that is undertaken by a health care professional who is not a doctor or dentist. A survey by the National Council for Palliative Care (NCPC) assessing issues around NMP in palliative care has prompted further investigation by NCPC. This publication outlines the survey results and the issues affecting NMP and specialist palliative care, for example: training and support; mentorship; access to records; and medical reluctance. The benefits of introducing NMP are summarised, and some local and national recommendations are made. (RH). |
