Independent prescribing in pharmacies can improve access to care and diversify pharmacy income.
Our roadmap to a prescribing future
A framework for the future
NPA is leading landmark research to understand what needs to be in place for independent prescribing in community pharmacy to grow safely, consistently and sustainably – and plotting a roadmap for service development with the help of stakeholders across community pharmacy, healthcare and patients.
Leading the way
We've brought together stakeholders at the highest levels to map the future for prescribing. Creating opportunities for pharmacies inside and outside the NHS, and offering greater choice and continuity for patients.
An exciting future: Our emerging work on prescribing
Independent prescribing represents one of the greatest opportunities for community pharmacy in many years to develop clinical services - improving access to NHS care and diversifying pharmacy income.
Pharmacies are uniquely placed to deliver IP based pharmacy services but prescribing cannot be introduced at the expense of funding for dispensing or other core services.
