ABSTRACT
All employers of non-medical prescribers (NMPs) have a duty to ensure they remain competent and current, and have access to relevant continuing professional development as identified through their staff appraisals. This article describes a survey that was undertaken to evaluate non-medical prescribing in one trust that operates an acute district hospital and community services. Five themes emerged from the results:
prescribing activity, patient safety, effect of non-medical prescribing on care, workforce planning and organisational support. The findings also suggested that most NMPs surveyed were compliant with local and national policy. Non-compliance was addressed through line manager intervention. Support for NMPs must be addressed at organisational level to ensure safety of all stakeholders.
