London: Royal College of Nursing; There are two types of non-medical prescribers in the NHS: independent prescribers and supplementary prescribers. This review focused on independent prescribers. Independent prescribers are practitioners responsible and accountable for the assessment of patients with previously undiagnosed or diagnosed conditions and for decisions about the clinical management required, including prescribing. They are recommended to prescribe generically, except where this would not be clinically appropriate or where there is no approved non-proprietary name.
This review confirms what many people have long believed from practice. Nurses and pharmacists, trained as independent prescribers, produce comparable clinical outcomes to doctors, when caring for patients with long-term conditions. Now, a wider group of healthcare professionals work as independent prescribers in even more settings. Independent prescribers, for example, are working as advanced clinical practitioners in acute and emergency practice.
The challenge to researchers over the next few years is to generate further robust evidence as to the impact of these independent prescribers in the latest cutting-edge practice. NIHR is the nation's largest funder of health and care research and provides the people, facilities and technology that enables research to thrive.
