Introduction: The decade has seen developments in non-medical prescribing with the introduction of prescribing rights for healthcare professionals. In this article, we focus on the education, training and practice of non-medical prescribers in the UK. There are around 20,000 nurse independent prescribers, 2,400 pharmacist supplementary/independent prescribers, several hundred allied health professional supplementary prescribers and almost 100 optometrist supplementary/independent prescribers. Many are active prescribers managing chronic conditions or acute episodes of infections and minor ailments.
