- Title
Independent non-medical prescribing for paramedics.
- Authors
Christie, Gordon
- Abstract
Independent non-medical prescribing has made significant advances in nursing and is now being considered and developed by other professions. The role of the paramedic is evolving and there is great emphasis on managing people at home and reducing rates of conveyance to hospital. This article discusses the role of the paramedic and suggests the benefits that independent non-medical prescribing could have for both the paramedic profession and for the patients paramedics treat during their clinical practice.
