Non Medical Prescribing.
1. Assess and take an appropriate medical, social and medication history using a
biopsychosocial approach to include allergies and intolerances congruent with
their context of practice.
2. Work with patients/carers and the multi professional team across care settings
in partnership to make informed choices, agreeing a plan that respects patient
preferences including their right to refuse or limit treatment.
3. Determine and select both non-pharmacological and pharmacological approaches to modifying disease and promoting health.
4. Prescribe a medicine within their own scope of practice only with adequate,
up-to-date awareness of its actions, indications, dose, contraindications,
interactions, cautions, and unwanted effects.
5. Be able to critically reflect on examples of prescribing practice and apply this
learning to enhance practice.
